1998 Suzuki Esteem tail light

The middle asking price for a used one is $116.27, across 13 live eBay listings for the 1996–2001 generation. Half of them ask between $89.95 and $129.19. That’s what sellers are asking, not what buyers paid. Sold prices aren’t published anywhere you can count on, and asking prices usually run about a quarter higher than what things sell for — so we say which one this is.

How it comes off

  1. Open the trunk or hatch and take off the trim or access cover behind the light.
  2. Remove the nuts, plus any screws on its outside edge.
  3. Unplug it and pull it straight back off its clips.

The usual order on most cars. A 1998 Suzuki Esteem may hide a screw or a clip somewhere else: if a piece will not move, look for what is still holding it before you pry harder.

What to bring for it

Typical sizes, not a promise for every car. Everything to bring to a pull-your-own yard.

Is it worth pulling?

That depends on what the yard charges for it and how long it takes to get off the car, and on where it sits against the other 19 parts on a 1998 Suzuki Esteem that have a market. The full sheet for this vehicle ranks all of them by what you save and by what you clear.
