Where to order tail light cover?
Hi folks,
I'm a complete newbie when it comes to car issues, so I'm sorry if this question is stupid.
I recently cracked and broke off the cover of one of my tail lights on my 2009 Fit Sport. I understand that replacing the cover should be easy to DIY, but I don't know where to order a replacement cover.
So far all I've been able to find are entire tailight replacement modules. I don't need all that, however, as the bulb works fine, etc. I just need to replace the cover.
Any recommendations?
Thank you in advance!

I don't think the tail lights are sold like that.
As far as I know, they're sold as whole housings.
The "easy to DIY" usually refers to opening up an existing housing to smoke (darken) it, then put it back together.

Replacing the tail light is EASY. It's like pop a panel on the inside, 3 bolts, 3 clips and bam, it's out...then reverse.
Please don't take it to a body shop just to replace the tail light...they will RAPE you.
Buy one off ebay--or if it's cheaper, buy a set of aftermarket tails...it is soooooo easy to change. 30 minutes...tops for both sides.

Swapping out the tail light for a new housing is an easy DIY too, just like Btrthnezr3 said.
The part number for the standard tail lights are:
33500-TK6-A01 (right side)
33550-TK6-A01 (left side)
So hopefully, if they claim to be OEs on ebay, they'll list part #s.
