Busted Tail Light 😡

[DukeCanBuildit]

I ended up just using Tuck Tape which I had lying around, and it worked great. Taped it from the bottom up so that the overlapping layers would keep moisture from seeping in. I don't have a great picture of it, but as you can see from this one (look on the passenger side, bottom half of the tail light), it did its job through a few heavy snowfalls and assorted storms.

I saw it in person and while it looked a bit sketch, it was doing its job and appeared to be holding up. It sticks to anything like you know what to a diaper so it’s a good interim fix when you have some on hand.

Yeah it fucking sucks! And on the last day of school before summer break Great way to start my summer break, looking for a tail light.

I found one on eBay for $70, but I’m skeptical. I don’t wanna cheap out on something that’s not gonna work properly.

If its called USED on ebay it means it must work or MONEY back. No harm in trying.

I put Anzo smoked aftermarket on mine and have been trying to sell the OEMs for months on Craigslist. The Anso's are designed to work with any factory configuration. Make sure whatever you get is right for your truck, BLIS, LED, etc. Check the sale page here and FB Marketplace too.

Are you asking $500 for the pair or for each?

For the pair.

Obviously, a jealous Tacoma owner "vandalized" this taillight and the insurance company is on the hook for this one...

I bought one on Amazon for about $200.00 swapped out the blis unit that was a bit of a PITA and reinstalled. Works as advertised

Same thing, bought one on Amazon for $200, swapped out perfectly and has worked for a year. This was not a copy but original equipment with the same foundry marks on it as the original.

This happened to my truck about a week ago. I have no idea when or where, I walked to the back of my truck after parking at the store and saw it. checked my dash cam which has a rear cam also but didn't see anything. Checked he previous day cameras at work nothing. So I have no clue when. New from the dealer my cost ( i work for the dealer) $1200

I found used on Ebay for $200 that im going to order soon

I somehow got a small hole in my taillight over the winter. I never backed into anything, so apparently someone backed into me or something hit my light. Rather than spend several hundred on an OEM part, I ordered this one from Amazon:

It cost $95, and took about 10-15 minutes to replace. I swapped the BLIS gizmo from the old light into the new one, and it works just like it used to.

I bought the same unit 2 years ago and it has worked flawlessly. It is not a Chinese knock off, it is original equipment and had the same identical foundry marks as the original. Easy 10 minute install.

Hey all,

I finally did it—I got into my first little “accident” with my truck.

I backed into a delivery truck and busted my passenger side tail light. Totally my fault, but goddamnit he wasn’t parked in a proper loading zone!!

I heard the back-up sensor beeping, but not rapidly, so I thought I was fine. Unfortunately, the truck was much higher than my bumper so the bumper didn’t sense it.

Anyhow, what are my options (besides a dealer) for replacement? Is it something I can install on my own?

Thanks in advance! you can find one at amazon the bliss and non bliss version it's easy to install yours has bliss you just have to install the module in place their is a video on how to install also

Ended up finding an OEM one on Marketplace for $40! Has a tiny chip on it near an edge (not a crack that would let water in), but everything works perfectly. Dude just wanted to get it out of his garage. I could’ve gone with an aftermarket one, but I really wanted the Ranger badging. Saved myself at least a few hundred bucks. Thanks everyone for your input!
