rear tail light replacement on Mk3 Facelift

Featured Replies

Hi,

I'm hoping folk can give me a bit of direction/reassurance.

I (like an idiot) reversed into a pillar this week and damaged the RHS tail light glass and the bumper-reflector on my 1.5TSI 2019 Octavia.

I've been hunting for the correct light to get as replacing it looks like an easy enough DIY job.

Anyway, after paying the bit of money for a day's access to partslink24.com, it seems what I need is the 5E5 945 112 B part. This is a part-LED setup. I'm looking at various suppliers and there's a fair range of prices. Probably the best prices I've found (to Ireland) are here: https://www.auto-doc.ie/car-parts/oem/5e5945112b starting from €90 + P&P

Questions:

  • any makes/manufacturers to avoid ordering after market parts like this?

  • any other sites I should look at to buy parts?

  • I see the lights don't include bulb-holder or bulbs, this should be OK as the light is still working fine (can get bulb holder & lights out easily I guess)

  • In this case, do the lights still include the LEDs? Only the TYC part says explicitly that it includes the LEDs, but maybe they all do?

  • Any advice on where to get the reflector, and if it's really only the 5E5945106A that will do the job? as that variant seems to be much harder to get (and dearer) than the 5E5945106 one (also, many pictures are clearly of the wrong reflector on listings, even though the text denotes the correct one)

Thanks in advance!
