Default 2009 RX350 outer tail light red dome over bulb detached

and sitting in bottom of assembly.

1. Do you know if when the assembly is removed from the car can you open it up to into the area between the lens and the shiny reflector? That way I could simply reattach the red dome.

2. Do you have any experience with aftermarket assemblies sold for about $70 new on ebay?

3. Better to buy new aftermarket or used OEM?

Thanks as always.

I'd go w/ a used oem vs aftermarket as you'd know it fits vs the fitment issues of aftermarket lighting housings.......

Used OEM off ebay, or go to a local pick'n'pull... I've seen a few starting to pop up over the last year or so near me (and its rare we get anything decent, in the US - there should be droves).

Nothing wrong with Aftermarket, but sometimes the lens quality is worse or the chrome may be a different shade...
