I'm in need of a passenger rear tail light for my near perfect Toyota Tercel SR5 wagon. I was backed into while parked at the local grocery store parking lot. The lift gate is damaged in the middle of the right side only and the the only damage to the tail light is a hole in the bottom half...the red part. The bulb isn't broken, the light still works. Do I need to get a whole new tail light or can just the lens be exchanged. I'm told that I need a whole new light by the auto body shops I've been going to for estimates. It looks like the lens is embodied in the light and can't be removed. If I need a new tail light, does anyone on the forum have one? I live in the Carson City/Reno, Nevada area.
This forum came through for me in sending an ashtray to replace the one that mysteriously was misplaced so now my dash looks complete again for which I am so grateful. Now I have to figure out what to do about the tail light. Thank you in advance.

Hmmm...what a bummer. Well, now I know. Our local Pick-n Pull does have one but it's cracked. Thanks for your encouragement...I'm sure there's one out there somewhere.

Re: 1983 Toyota Tercel SR5 Passenger Rear Tail Light
How many do you need? Almost never see broken taillights on t4's (must have been a truck that backed in to you??)
Needless to say , i've got 'em in stock.
PS- yeah, you need the whole assembly.

Re: 1983 Toyota Tercel SR5 Passenger Rear Tail Light
Hi again, rer233. You came to my rescue with an ashtray...remember? I'm still elated to have it. As for what backed into me! How about a HUMMER! It's a miracle that the whole backend didn't get creamed. The middle portion of the right side of the lift gate below the window got crushed in and a large hole broke through the bottom half of the tail light...just the red part. I just need the passenger right side tail light. Do you have one in good shape?

Carol- Sure i remember you! As for the taillight. i've got one in good condition- how's $10 plus the ride sound? Didn't think a "normal" car
could bust a terc wagon taillight without totalling the car!
Let me know, Rich.
