And you may both be lucky, and not put a lot of miles on. And you are
paying premium for that Toyota. My wife's Venza has a broken tail light
lens. $201 for the tail light housing, as the lens is not separate and
probably 2 hours to change! Has a small hole in the lens, probably a
thrown rock. Or grocery cart. How can some car company justify having to
change the whole assembly for a tail light broken lens? Tail lights have
always gotten broken.

Unfortunately it's fairly common these days. Sometimes you can get
after market parts for less at NAPA, Autozone, etc.

Call some junk yards. I had a hole in my taillight and got one at a junkyard for about a third of
the dealer cost. It was even new in the box.
