Overview

It is marked universal fit and names no specific vehicle, so check the lamp’s shape and mounting points against the factory unit before installing it.
Key features
- Driver side tail lamp
- Black housing
- Complete kit with housing, lens and bulbs
- 12 inch wire lead connector
Matching the tail lamp
A replacement tail lamp has to match the shape and mounting points of the unit it replaces, and body styles vary more than many owners expect. Hold the new lamp against the opening before mounting it, compare the lens outline and the tabs or screw holes, and note how the old lamp seated against the body panel. A small mismatch in the gasket or bracket can leave a gap that lets water in.
Wiring is the other check. Compare the connector and the 12 inch wire lead with your existing harness, and confirm which pins carry the tail, brake and turn functions before splicing anything. Test each function with the lamp connected before fitting the lens. A bad ground can look like a failed lamp, so check the ground point first.
- Compare the lens outline and mounting tabs
- Check the connector and pin functions before splicing
- Test every function before sealing the lamp
