New to Ram TOO

[strawhead]

Been a 5th Gen owner since April. Some minor glitches. Mostly UConnect stuff. I broke the passenger side tail lamp cover glass-plastic. Any help with regards to replacing? Is the best option the dealer? I called the dealer and was told $800 plus for a new one. Thanks in advance.

Most dealers have a 15% discount on parts if you go through the Mopar website. Most of the Ram websites have vendors that sell OEM parts at possibly better discounts also. And don't forget Ebay as there are usually a number of folks selling OEM parts.

I'm not surprised at the OEM cost as the LED tail lights on my 14 Sport were listed at over $300 and I bought one for about $200 from a Mopar seller. The new ones have all kinds of sensors that the 14 didn't so look around.

My dealer seems to price his parts under suggested retail and also takes the 15% coupon so the mods I made on my 19 Laramie (bed rails, rear liners and cab seal) were purchased from him.

go to ebay and search for 2019 ram 1500
Used parts
there many many taillights at 50% or less

BTW - in the past couple of months the number of OEM parts that are from parted out RAMs with low miles have sky rocketed.
specifically head/tail lights, mirrors, interior bits and other electrocnics
