Fixed it myself. Bought the tail light online, looked up how to replace on YouTube. Literally took about 10 minutes to complete. Saved a couple hundred dollars in the process. Not the most handy guy either.

Did my mini van myself

Definitely Rock Auto - their parts are cheaper than any store, or Amazon - typically.

Thanks for all the suggestions

Should only need a screw driver. Then unplug old one,
