    Re: look?

    someone tried them on here but they looked like ass. plus they only sell the outer ones so there is no point in having amber ones inside and whites outside.

    did you try to search?

    Why would they not sell the inside lamp too? WTF?!? How lame is that. So it's only useful if you're going to shave the decklid and remove the inner lights...

    the center piece is changed depending on the year and market. for 1988-89, USDM trunk lids were modified so the black thing between the lights wasn't so big

    probably didnt want to bother with the manufacture of a part that was only gonna match 2 years

    No.. the 88-89 USDM trunklid has a smaller black center piece, and the lid is fitted for this smaller piece

    compare this pic with the pic above with the clear tails. you can see the center lights are smaller and the black thing is wider on the 86-87

    I had 'em on for a while but decided they don't match: the red is too bright and the wrong shade. Buyer beware. I say smoke 'em instead.
