    I Just got out of a lunch meeting and someone decided to back up and break my passenger tail light. No note, no nothing.

    Is there any after market replacements you can suggest?

    I already need a new windshield...... It's a 2013 with 1600miles
    Might as well chalk this up to my growing tab.

    F Me!!

    Check autoanything or eBay like he said. Any light for an 05-13 will fit

    Some OEM LED lights pop up here from time to time. My experience with aftermarket lights has always been bad (leaking, condensation, etc).

    Such a new truck, I'd hate for you to put a crap quality product on it so soon :D

    I had a bus hit my 09 tacoma and I replaced the light with a $120 ebay one and never had a problem, matter of fact just saw the truck not 2 weeks ago. New owner said he had no problem with the taillights

    It's become a circus full of mentally challenged drivers; talking on the phone not noticing anything. There's no hope.........

    ^ Look at the better side of things. Its only a Passenger side tail light. Just one. Does it suck, sure does. However it could easily been your tailgate, bedside, bumper, etc.

    I have my rear quarter panel bumped into and that sucked. ​

    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    Wow that sucks, before the Tacoma, my newest rig was a 1980 and I never had nobody run into any of my beaters. Get a new Tacoma and you swear there is a big red target painted on it! Only had mine 6 months and my friend backed into the box and crushed the right side in a good ways. About 3k in damage, his insurance paid for it though.
