i don't know if this is relevant, but the junkyard i went to sold me a tail light assembly for "book value" (he looked it up in some huge ass book, with values of parts) $35. and im sure if i had cared i could have haggled him down some.

yeah the junkyards around here try to rape you something fierce too......

I dont want to promote crime or anything, but hey.... most parts are pocket sized :rolleyes:

I've sent over 20 some odd cars to that scrap yard at like 35 bucks a car and they want 100 bucks to buy little parts back!?!? pffft.... thanks for coming out though....

the one i got was from a diff year, fit good but i had to play with the wiring and splice a couple things to get it to work right. keep that in mind when you get your new ones.

yah, I've seen other ones from other years and I found that mine is one of the only ones that dont have that little rubber strip between the brake/signal light.... mine is solid plastic.... ahh well, I can live with the crack a little long.... ;)
