Recently had service at Dealership and they informed me the 3rd "High Mount" tail light was out. Then they showed me the estimate and it was nearly $400. After a long pause, I politely declined. Anyone got a suggestion who/where/what/how to do this or get it done? Links to aftermarket stuff? Anything?

 

talk to tony at riverside infinity directly he will give you the best price on it and im sure they were including labor to put it in which cant be hard to do yourself

 

Here you go bud. On ebay currently going for $45 with $7 S&H from Mission Viejo. Auction ends Friday at 12:34 am. Currently two bidders.

Tried to get the ebay one... went over $100 and never got my snipe prog working...

Riverside is who wanted the nearly $400... $120 of it was labor.

 

^ $102.50 is still a pretty good deal. Looking on my Infiniti parts list, the parts sells for $179.04.

 

Yeah, I typed in a few bids and it just kept jumping and I couldn't get my snipe to work... plus, I didn't want to overpay - didn't know about the $179 at the time. Past history showed them selling for $45 and $80.

I may just pull the existing one and see if its a $2 diode as someone else ran into. If not, maybe try to replace it with an LED strip.

Mostly scared of F'ing up the back deck cover - anyone do this in the area?

 

^ It's not hard to remove the high mount lamp housing. If I remember correctly, you'll have to access the clamps from the trunk. Really easy.

 

^is that the same for G35 Coupes?
b/c mine went out recently and i got a replacement..

 

From what I've read - it's easier on the Coupes... The Sedans involve either drilling through the trunk (faster, but could F things up) or taking out the back seats and deck lid (lengthy pain in the ***).

 

Hella, did you ever end up fixing yours? mine went out and needs to be replaced too

 

you could remove it and run a red LED strip
