Tailbeam Sourcing is an independent sourcing partner. We help importers, wholesalers and fleet buyers collect factory quotes for vehicle tail light assemblies plus matching housings, lenses and wiring harnesses. Share vehicle year and side, housing size, lamp functions, connector, voltage, quantity and destination; we do not manufacture lamps or claim authorization.
Request factory quotes Explore sourcing optionsIdentify the part: left or right side, housing outline and which lighting functions the assembly must cover.
Compare supplier responses on packing contents, connectors and documents tied to the same vehicle application.
Confirm the order scope so a complete assembly is not priced against a bare housing or lens-only line.
A catalog title does not prove interchange. Record the open checks below so supplier replies can be compared on the same vehicle application, connector and packing unit.
Record model year, make, model and chassis or body code; identify unresolved fitment. Note whether the request is for a passenger car, light truck or trailer lamp family before mixing applications.
Confirm rear outer or inner position, left or right side, housing outline dimensions, connector family and voltage. Separate tail, brake and turn functions from a single marketing label when the supplier reply is unclear.
State pieces, pairs or vehicle sets and list included lens, housing, light sources, harness branches and mounting hardware. A kit price must not be compared with a housing-only line.
Provide destination ZIP and the requested delivery window. Ask which Incoterms, freight, taxes and service costs sit inside the quote before timing claims are treated as firm.
| Decision point | Buyer / supplier question |
|---|---|
| Can a matching name prove fitment? | No. Ask for the vehicle application, OE reference used only for identification, left/right designation and connector confirmation. Market documents for a different designation do not transfer automatically. |
| Is a quote required to inquire? | No. A target budget in USD per piece or total order is optional. Quantity, side count and application still help define the request without forcing a price first. |
| Can lead time be assumed? | No. Confirm sample, production and transport timing in the supplier response. Custom housings or harness branches can change both cost and calendar independently of a stock-looking photo. |
| Does a supplier document certify our service? | No. Fitment or market documents apply only to the stated supplier, product and application. Tailbeam Sourcing coordinates questions; it does not convert those files into a house certificate. |
| Decision point | Buyer / supplier question |
|---|---|
| Clarify | Resolve part reference, vehicle year and side, housing dimensions, lamp functions, connector, voltage and order unit. Unknowns stay listed instead of being filled with marketing defaults. |
| Request | Ask suppliers for comparable quote scope covering complete assemblies versus housing, lens or harness packages, sample terms and documents tied to the same application. |
| Review | Compare sample approval conditions, document scope, Incoterms and total cost. Keep empty-housing lines off a complete-assembly comparison sheet. |
| Confirm | Record the accepted specification, remaining open checks and each party’s delivery responsibility before any purchase instruction is issued. |
