had an unfortunate dummy mistake of breaking my right tail light cover with a hockey bag. Anyone know how to keep the expenses down when replacing this? Really don't want to go through infiniti for them to charge me $300 for just the cover then whatever labor will be.

 

Ebay, just make sure the seller has a near perfect feedback rating and good clear photos, should find one for about $75ish.
Here's one example, photo could be better though

Check your local craigslist. You might find used ones for $50-$70/ea

 

I have a set for sale. I replaced mine with JDM tail lights. At the time of replacement, I had 17,751 miles on the car. It came off of a 2013. If you're interested send me a PM.

 

Taillights are easy to change. You just need a deep 10mm socket, a ratchet and a way to pull apart some push pins in the trunk. It’s a 10 minute job. If you’re nervous about it at all, just PM me, and I’ll talk/FaceTime you through it.
