Mazda Protege 2002 tail light replacement

[rachfore]

I have a Mazda Protege 2002 tail light that has been broken. The inner reflective part is only cracked so I think I may just need the cover. Does anyone know how to connect the tail light cover to the car? Can it be glued or does it fasten?

Is replacing the entire tail light assembly difficult?

Thanks,
Rachel

I would just keep an eye out for someone selling their tails in the FS section. And replacing the taillights is a piece of cake. Open you hatch and there are 3 small round covers that pop out that reveal 3 bolts. Unscrew those with the utmost care so you dont drop them into the care. pop the taillight out, swap in the new reverse steps 2 and 1.

Hope that helps. And welcome to the forum!

Check ebay. Under protege5 or protege 5.(with a space). I just saw some today for sale. LH or RH. Or as a set. Just dont get the euro tails. They are ugly. Also checkout www.corksport.com they have the JDM tails. (Japanese versions).
Oh and welcome to the forum. Post pics of your car if you like.
