Answer 1

You might check at a auto parts store and see if they can order you a new tail light , if they can't help you then you might be able to find one at a auto salvage yard for a good price.  

Answer 2

If there is no body damage then you can buy a tail light lens aftermarket from the parts store for about $50.00 and go to a shop and they will install it for about $20.00 if there nice they will just do it for free it only takes about ten min. You can always go to a junkyard and get it used but i wouldn't pay more than $25.00 if i did that anymore and they are just trying to take advantage of you. dont go to the dealer or a body shop if you can help it.  

Answer 3

I had a Kia, best thing I ever did was sell it. Parts are high because most are dealer items still. Check ebay, and install the new cover yourself. It's easy, all you should need is a screwdriver and new bulbs. Bulbs you can get at an auto supply store.

I checked autozone.com, and covers for your lights are not sold there, probably a dealer item still. But you can still save a ton by installing it yourself.

Answer 4

It's called a tail light lens or just tail light since you can't buy just the lens any more.  I'm not correcting you to be a smart aleck, you'll need the right term when you're looking for the part, either at the dealer or other parts store, or online.  The lenses are definitely not cheap.  Sometimes it's less expensive to buy the after market type that people put on to dress up their cars, but since you only need one side it might not be.  They are very simple to install and if you have to order it locally ask them if they will install it for free.

Good luck.

Answer 5

Kia part might not be as cheap as you'd expect, but you can save money on labor by replacing it yourself. Try e-bay for parts.
