Hi everyone. I've surfed around for a definitive answer to this question for a while now, so here we go. Is the backup light assembly interchangeable from hatchback to sedan? I have a 2007 3 Sedan, and cannot seem to find replacements (for less then 100$). However, the hatchback seems to have replacements everywhere, and cheaper. I bought the car used and would like to return the smoke lenses to their OEM state.

Also, if they are not interchangeable (and I guess even if they are), would anyone be interested in trading smoked lenses for OEM style outer, inner, side markers or reflectors? Thanks everyone.

 

Can't give you difinitive answer but I have a cool pic attached for you, LOL.

 

LOL. They look the same! But I just know if I buy them from the hatchback, it won't fit.

 

I think the curve in the lens is greater on the hatch than the sedan, at least by looking at it thats what I see. I can run out and grab some measurements off my hatch if you would like.

 

It appears to me that the Hatch lights from inner to outer are going slightly up whereas on the sedan they are more level or slightly going down. Also hatch lights on very outside outer are sticking out with more plastic at top.

 

Thanks for the post! It does look like it.

 

Yup, neither inner or outer lights are interchangeable between sedans and hatchbacks
