recently busted my passenger side rear taillight cover. Was looking at junkyards, but some wanted close to new. Anyone had to replace these and found a good brand for fitment and stock looks?
Thanks!

I am pretty surprised the junkyards want so much. Are there any you pull junkyards near you? I find them to be much cheaper. Or look for a parts car that someone is parting out on kijiji, fakebook marketplace etc.

The tail lights are not in big demand. I bought a used one for about $20 Canadian

I'm sure there are regional variances, but the junkyards that I go to have flat-rate pricing for standard items like tail light assemblies. Prices are in USD:

Junkyard #1 - 40 mins away $24.99 if you pull it yourself, $2 admission fee

Junkyard #2 - 50 mins away $26.99 if you pull it yourself, $3 admission fee

Where do you live, @Exopthalmos ?

These are pretty reasonable prices. In the five plus years I have owned my Element I have made a lot of trips to the you pull junk yard and every single Element that I have seen there (and there have been a lot of them) have all had both tail lights still on the car. No one comes for them.

Side steps, roof racks, rear spoilers are always gone. Sometimes throttle bodies, accessories like mud flaps or hood deflectors will be gone but tail lamps are always there.
