(1991) 3rd Gen rear passenger side tail light

mebz · Post by **mebz** » Thu Jul 10, 2014 8:44 am

Hi guys.... does anyone have a rear passenger tail light for sale? My car got hit recently and I am having difficulty sourcing the red&white rear light.

Alternatively, if you know of anywhere I can find one, would be great to know.

Thank you!

Hi Mebz, how bad is your existing one? I can help you with a 'get you by' spare, as I have one which has recieved an impact. The plastic backplate is complete , so no issues with fitting it, however the lens has broken and a large piece is missing. It has never failed an MOT, as I have applied red plastic adhesive plastic tape to it, so that it still shows red to rear. it's not particularly pretty looking, but may prove suitable in the short-term until you get a good useable replacement. if you're not too far from the south coast, you're welcome to come and collect, if not, we'll have to talk about delivery costs.

Hi there....thnx for getting in touch. From the sounds of it, we're in similar situation. I have a broken lens and used some nasty red cover over it too. Hopefully someone pops up soon with a breaker! Just my luck no one at the moment.

Worst case, will get the garage to check that it is safe to drive as is....and wait for the next breaker to come along. I spoke with Honda yesterday and they have none in the whole network.

mebz, I've texted Flashman, who was breaking one earlier this year, to see if he's still got the rear light stashed away. Will let you know...

MEBZ, sorry I can't help, sounds like you have a similar unit to mine yourself, try Hondaman, he normally has several breakers, he's in Scotland. Nice guy, and reliable, but works away from home, so may take a while to reply. Hi Wurly, hope you're well.

Try this lot?
Looks like they've broken a 3rd gen?

Thanks for all your responses guys...still looking though. That ebay one was seats only. I know a seller of a 1991 3rd gen in red for £400...could talk him down....but I won't need all the parts. If anyone interest in taking it I would pay for a few things from that car.

£400 is too much for me (plus I have no space at all now

) but...
And pics/links to the car?
