$564 to Replace the Third Tail light in the middle!

You can pick up a used assembly for $140 to $200 on ebay and install yourself if you want. I assume you were quoted a dealer price for the part and install? If you don't fix it, you might not get pulled over, I can't guarantee anything, but you will have to have it repaired by the time you have your state inspection.

I live in Arizona where the Liddy light is required. However, they will give you a warning the first time. As I'm 71 and drive 4,000 miles/year (rarely at night), I'll take my chances. I just had my car inspected and I was in and out in 5 minutes. Maybe the bureaucrats will miss it, lol. With 40% of Americans unable to come up with $400 if given a month, I'm thankful that in the end I can bite the bullet. But still, the whole thing is a screw job. Although I love my Chrysler 300, I feel I'm being screwed.
