OLM Upper Tail Light Trim Piece For Use w/ Aftermarket Lights 2017-2018 Forester | OEM-Like Fitment | Exterior Trim

Overview

The OLM Upper Tail Light Trim Piece is designed specifically for the 2017-2018 Subaru Forester to complement aftermarket tail lights. This trim piece replicates the factory-installed component integrated into Subaru’s newer tail light assemblies, providing a seamless and professional finish when upgrading your rear lighting. It is ideal for Forester owners who want to maintain a clean, OEM-like appearance while installing aftermarket lamps.

OLM’s approach to this trim piece focuses on precision fitment and functional design. Unlike earlier models where this trim was a separate part included with stock tail lights, Subaru integrated it into the tail light housing starting in 2017. OLM offers this piece separately to ensure that aftermarket tail lights can achieve the same tidy installation and water protection as the original equipment. This attention to detail reflects OLM’s commitment to quality and Subaru-specific solutions.

By using this trim piece, Subaru Forester owners benefit from a factory-style installation that not only enhances the visual integration of aftermarket tail lights but also helps prevent moisture intrusion behind the lamps. This is especially important for maintaining the longevity and reliability of your lighting system in various weather conditions. For enthusiasts focused on both aesthetics and durability, this trim piece is a practical addition to any aftermarket tail light upgrade.
