Busted tail light
 
model: 2004 Honda Civic Coup (manual) EX (or SI for Canada)

I don't even know how this happened, doesn't look like someone hit me (or I hit someone for that matter) because the hole is right in the middle of the assembly and no other damages to the back. It's the left/Driver's side tail light

anyways, I just need help with where to get the parts and replacement. How much is it to get it from a Honda dealership? I'm gonna try calling a few tomorrow, would just like to know a benchmark. Also, is it worth my while to call junk yards? would they sell cheaper?

I also found this site selling the assembly for about $55 without bulbs (not sure about shipping charges): http://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/200..._assembly.html
Is this a good deal?

Anyways, thanks for the info and help.

PS: how hard is it to change the assembly myself? how much would a mechanic charge? like $20?

It's probably four 10mm nuts. Don't pay someone to do that when you can do it in 5 minutes or less.

If you can find an 04 in a junk yard, that's your best bet.
