FixLight Assembly Replacement Cost
What owners actually paid
The shaded middle is where half of all these repairs landed: $68 – $277. The price on any one car depends on the vehicle — the table below shows the range for each.
What this repair is
When the housing itself is broken, hazed beyond saving, or the internal wiring has burned, the whole light unit is replaced rather than a bulb. Taillight units are usually quick; headlight assemblies on newer vehicles can require bumper removal and aiming afterward — that, and the unit price, is where the money goes.

- Access — bumper-mounted lights may need the cover off.
Quotes near the low end usually mean a bolt-in tail light on an older vehicle. Quotes near the high end usually mean LED tail assembly, bumper-mounted units needing cover removal, both sides for matching.
