Pontiac Grand Am question...

Question

My parents just gave me their old car, a 2000 Pontiac Grand Am SE, to drive back and forth to work. My brother backed into a trailer last year in it and busted out the driver's side tail light. I found a tail light on ebay but the guy isn't emailing me back...it says it's off of a '97 Grand Am...are the '97 Grand Am tail lights the same as the 2000's?

Answer 1

Call any Pontiac dealer and the parts dept. will gladly tell you.Thats the best I can do.

Answer 2

No the bodystyle changed in 1999 they do not have the same taillight.

Answer 3

my guess would be that it doesn't, why don't you just go to your local auto parts store and buy one.

Answer 4

Look at the pic on ebay very very closely.  I know they are different and are not the same assembly:  it was the Sunfire and Cavaliers that changed in 2000, not Grand Am, it changed for 1999 - 2000, the bumps were added to the plastic 'glass' of the tail lights and sizing/fit is a lot different.  Mirrors changed also, as well as body side molding and rocker panels in 2001 or 2002.
