Product Overview

A Corolla tail-light lens can keep working after it cracks, which makes it easy to postpone the repair until moisture gets inside and starts corroding bulb sockets or staining the reflector. Once the housing is leaking, replacing bulbs does not address the open lens or damaged seal.

Replacing the complete outer lamp restores a dry housing and the correct red/clear lens at the driver-side rear corner. The part number also helps distinguish this sedan lamp from Matrix or other Toyota rear-light assemblies that can appear in broad Corolla searches.
