So my wife takes the kids to see her mom this weekend and leaves me home. Sounds good, right? I get some time to work on the cars and drink a few cold ones with my neighbor. Well, turns out she backs out of a parking space and biffs the right rear corner on an SUV's bumper! Put a small crack in the bumper cover, smashed the lens of the taillight, and put a small dent in the rear quarter. Fortunately, damage to the other vehicle was minimal.



Not sure how the insurance game is gonna play out. If their claim is under $1000, then our rates won't go up. If it's over a $1000, we're screwed and we might as well get it fixed.



Now the reason for my post: Anybody know a good place to get a good replacement taillight? The dealer wants over $300. I see Rockauto has them for like $160. Anybody know if it's OEM quality?

Well, for anyone who was losing sleep over this matter, here's an update:



Rockauto had the replacement taillight on my doorstep before 9 this morning via Fedex Ground. That's several hours less than 48 hours from order placement to item delivery. Unit comes in a Depo box and is in every respect IDENTICAL to the oem unit. Fit, naturally, is perfect.
