2017-2021 Jeep Compass Complete Genuine OEM Left Inner Tailgate Light

Restore Your SUV’s Rear Profile and Stop Devastating Water Leaks

Are you dealing with the frustrating aftermath of backing into a hidden garage pillar, a low-hanging branch, or a rogue shopping cart that completely shattered the inner tailgate light on your 2017-2021 Jeep Compass? The MP-generation Jeep Compass features a distinct two-piece rear lighting design, with one light mounted to the main body and the other integrated directly into the rear liftgate. A cracked or broken hatch lamp on the driver’s side completely ruins the sophisticated, modern aesthetic of your SUV. Worse yet, driving with a shattered lens allows heavy rain and car wash water to flood the inside of your tailgate, which quickly destroys sensitive bulb sockets and can short out your entire rear lighting harness.  2017-2021 Jeep Compass Complete Genuine OEM Left Inner Tailgate Light

You cannot afford to compromise your vehicle’s electrical system with cheap, unbranded aftermarket light assemblies. Off-brand inner taillights frequently suffer from poor foam weather sealing that leads to immediate internal condensation, and their rapidly fading red plastics rarely match your existing factory outer taillights. Step up to absolute lighting perfection without paying inflated dealership prices with this Complete Genuine OEM Left Inner Tailgate Light. Sourced as a rigorously inspected used part, this direct-replacement housing guarantees razor-sharp illumination, perfect liftgate alignment, and a flawless watertight seal that completely revitalizes your Jeep’s rear profile.  2017-2021 Jeep Compass Complete Genuine OEM Left Inner Tailgate Light

Deep Dive: How to Get the Most Out of Your Replacement Tailgate Light

Upgrading to a pristine OEM taillight is a fast, highly impactful repair that restores both the safety and the curb appeal of your Jeep Compass. Because this is a direct plug-and-play assembly, it is an incredibly rewarding DIY project that bypasses expensive body shop labor fees.  2017-2021 Jeep Compass Complete Genuine OEM Left Inner Tailgate Light

Crucial Buying Note: The Jeep Compass taillight is a two-piece design. This specific product is the INNER taillight assembly for the LEFT (Driver) side. This means it is the smaller section that physically mounts directly to the moving liftgate (trunk/hatch). It does not include the larger outer piece that mounts onto the main quarter panel body.  2017-2021 Jeep Compass Complete Genuine OEM Left Inner Tailgate Light

When replacing this hatch-mounted lamp, open your rear liftgate and use a non-marring plastic trim removal tool to pop off the small plastic access panel on the interior driver’s side of the trunk door. This will expose the mounting nuts (usually 8mm or 10mm) holding the light to the metal frame. Once the nuts are removed and the wire is unplugged, gently push the old light outward.  2017-2021 Jeep Compass Complete Genuine OEM Left Inner Tailgate Light

Before sliding your new Genuine OEM used lamp into place, take a damp microfiber cloth and meticulously wipe down the metal surface of the liftgate. Dirt and grime can prevent the foam weatherstripping on the back of the new light from making a perfect seal. Finally, when tightening the mounting nuts, only hand-tighten them until snug; over-torquing will instantly crack the plastic housing!  2017-2021 Jeep Compass Complete Genuine OEM Left Inner Tailgate Light

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Check the “People Also Ask” section on Google for your main keyword and answer those exact questions here.

• Q: Does this include the larger light that mounts to the side of the Jeep?

  • A: No. This listing is strictly for the inner trunk/hatch taillight assembly that mounts directly to the left rear liftgate door. The outer body-mounted taillight is a separate part.  2017-2021 Jeep Compass Complete Genuine OEM Left Inner Tailgate Light

• Q: Will this fit my 2017 Jeep Compass?

  • A: Yes, but you must strictly verify your body style! 2017 was a “split year” for the Compass. Jeep sold both the older “Classic” body style (MK) and the completely redesigned body style (MP) simultaneously. This lamp is strictly engineered for the redesigned MP body style used from late-2017 through 2021.  2017-2021 Jeep Compass Complete Genuine OEM Left Inner Tailgate Light

• Q: Since this is a used light, will it come with working bulbs?

  • A: Used taillight assemblies typically include the bulbs that were in them when removed from the donor vehicle. However, because bulbs are consumable items, we highly recommend transferring your existing working bulbs or spending a few dollars on fresh ones prior to installation to guarantee maximum lifespan.    2017-2021 Jeep Compass Complete Genuine OEM Left Inner Tailgate Light
