I need a driver's side tail lamp assembly for my 2000 New Beetle - any ideas ?

Issue - The current one has a couple cracks going across parallel to the ground and I'm sure leaks in rain / etc. It's also a little flakey (especially with precipitation).

I've thought about checking with local junk yards for one from 2000 - 2003.

Car-part.com. This is a master list of parts available at probably thousands of full serve junkyards. Your can search your specific part by location, price and condition.

Self serve junk yard.

Ebay.

Amazon

That's the beauty of a pick a part yard. Low price and free education on how to remove parts. I believe in your case the bumper cover is removed but use the search button beforemail prying on stuff.

I think they come out from the truck area. There are some wing nut type fasteners that hold the tail light assembly in as well as some clips if I recall.

Once you start turning the wing nut things, it will become apparent.
