Taillight question - black "gutter" on inside (exterior) of housing

NORAGRETS · 04-25-2017, 12:22 PM

All,

I noticed that my taillights had some crap/dirt/twigs n' berries, on the top edge of the light housing that was stuck there (both sides). I removed the black, plastic gutter that sits on the inside of the taillight but broke one of the clips on removal.

Ive searched far and wide for the part # but only see it as being sold with the WHOLE taillight. (pic attached).

Can anyone confirm if it is sold individually? or only as a complete unit?

Thanks

RealOEM shows it as an assembly https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...diagId=63_1054

Yep I saw that...looked on real oem for a solid 45 minutes this am

Rather not spend $100+ on whole assembly when I need just a plastic $0.50 piece

I guess you'll have to decide whether you'd prefer to improvise it back together or source the part from someone else's damaged light. I did find one auction on eBay for that specific piece for a passenger side.

Lots of OE taillamp assemblies for sale with guys switching to LCI/LCI Blacklines. Scour the Classifieds or the local wrecker, maybe you'll get lucky.
