Product Overview
A backed-in shopping cart, brittle lens, trunk-area collision, or water entering through a cracked seam can leave the right rear lamp cloudy, broken, or full of condensation. Once the bulb and socket circuit have been checked, replacing the complete outer housing is often the clean repair.
The assembly mounts on the right rear quarter panel and provides the outer rear lamp positions for the matching Corolla. It is not the driver-side lamp and does not include any inner trunk-lid lamp used on other designs.
Match 81551-8C004 or 815518C004, passenger-side placement, lens pattern, rear studs, bulb openings, connector or socket arrangement, and sedan body style. Transfer bulbs or sockets only if the product photos do not show them included.

Q: Can a new housing fix a brake light that is still dark? A: Only if the old housing or socket fit is the cause. Test the bulb, socket, fuse, ground and wiring.

Q: Why does condensation return? A: A damaged gasket, warped mounting surface, blocked vent or cracked socket can still admit moisture.
