A tail light assembly houses lighting used at the rear of a vehicle. Depending on the design and location, an assembly can provide tail, brake, turn signal or reverse-light functions; those functions may be split between separate lamps.

The TYC selection includes side-specific assemblies for vehicle bodies, quarter panels and liftgates. Identify the damaged lamp's left or right side and its inner or outer location before choosing a replacement.
Match the vehicle's body configuration, lens and light-source type as well as the lamp position. Some assemblies include bulbs or LEDs, while hardware or wiring may be separate. Read the contents for the selected lamp.
A cracked lens can admit moisture, and corrosion or damaged connections can affect operation. Check the housing and electrical connections to identify the repair; a failed light source does not automatically mean the whole assembly must be replaced.
Their positions and functions depend on the vehicle. One TYC inner lamp is listed for a liftgate, while an outer lamp is listed for the vehicle body. Match the exact mounting location and side.
Rear-light functions can be combined or distributed across separate lamps. Check the functions identified for the selected assembly and the vehicle's layout rather than assuming one housing contains them all.
The package varies by product. A TYC left-side assembly lists halogen tail and backup bulbs, and another identifies an LED assembly. Check the specific listing and whether any additional hardware is supplied.
Use the assembly specified for the vehicle and its original lighting equipment. LED and halogen products can have different connectors and functions; similar lens shapes alone do not establish compatibility.
Many assemblies are side-specific. Mounting, lens orientation and wiring can differ, so choose the driver or passenger side named for the lamp being replaced.
