Detailed Description

Built for specific Dodge Dakota fitment, Dorman 1610420 is a replacement tail light assembly that follows the stock configuration for a seamless repair. It is intended for left-side applications on 1987-1991 Dodge Dakota models, including 1988-1991 trucks with bright trim and 1987 trucks built from 11/27/87. This part cross-references AMS Automotive 4720 and Eagle Eye CS077-U00CL for the same application.

The assembly uses a plastic lens and housing with a clear/red lens color and 12V halogen bulb technology. Because bulbs are not included, the existing bulb setup should be inspected during replacement. Dorman 1610420 is a practical choice when restoring the rear lighting on a Dodge Dakota while keeping the exterior appearance close to original.

What It Helps Fix

• Cracked or broken tail light lens
• Water intrusion from a damaged housing
• Dim, faded, or discolored rear lighting
• Failed left rear lamp assembly on a Dodge Dakota
• Exterior damage from minor impact or road debris

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify left-side placement and confirm the vehicle is a 1987-1991 Dodge Dakota before installation. Check the existing bulb condition, socket condition, and wiring connector before transferring components. Since mounting hardware is not included, reuse the original fasteners if serviceable or source the correct hardware separately. Confirm bright trim fitment on 1988-1991 models and the 11/27/87 build date requirement for 1987 trucks.
