Its been only two weeks since I got the 2009 Altima Coupe and as luck could have it, a ball hit the driver's side of the tail light and there is a crack on it. The crack is on the right most side of the tail light cover. It is just a crack on the cover and the Autozone guy put some epoxy on it and covered it up. I was looking up various dealers for just the cover but they only replace the whole tail light itself and that costs around 250 bucks. Does anyone know about where I could get just the tail light cover cause I am sure I would need to replace it at some time or the other?

If it's not too bad you can keep checking ebay for a deal, and call a few salvage yards..Have any pics of the damage?

Also the light assemble is all one piece and then a wire harness (they don't sell just the lens)

Thanks guys for your quick replies....I will wait it out a while and see if I need to replace it....the epoxy is holding off well but I need to get some of the epoxy off the bumper as the guy at the Autozone spilt some on it....went thru a carwash but it didnt come off...might need to go back to him and ask him to remove it without screwing up the paint....

will post some pics soon....
