Left Rear Tail Light Assembly. Need advice on purchase. Is this part integral to the unibody structure? Rock Auto offers several Is CAPA (available at Rock [Auto.com](http://Auto.com)) as good as OEM ([GMPartsOutlet.net](http://GMPartsOutlet.net).)? OEM is twice the price. The CAPA Certified indicates: “Improved, sealed design adjusting mechanism that keeps gears lubricated, clean, and protected from dirt and grease from the road.” The OEM says: “Built-in adjustors provide ability to aim lamps.” Even Walmart sells them!

I never heard of aiming tail lights. Make sure this isn’t a headlight assembly from GM. ---

Yeah 8 too am puzzled by the description. There should be a decent selection at a junk yard. Now I ordered emplacement mirrors from rock auto, the Ty’s brand, and they were exact replacements for the original. Can’t vouch fir other parts or brands. ---

The Oem with the adjustable aim was definitley on the [GMPartsOutlet.net](http://GMPartsOutlet.net) site. for the rear tail light. Maybe a typo. I’ll check in my trunk and/or call them. I might like to be able to do this myself. Should be a simple install. ---
