I've always liked the looks of those, brand new one's for $360 shipped is a very good price. If anyone is thinking about them I'd contact Dave ASAP before there's a shortage again on them, a side note here, Dave is a very trust worthy guy so I wouldn't hesitate to deal with him. Good info Steve, later.

Thanks for the kind words Al. If anyone is interested in picking them up PM, or email me at Diesel@hawaii.rr.com and I'll see how many I can get. Oh the price is $360 shipped, I know it's expensive but that's the best price I can get on them. This is the only guy I have found that can get both the left and right sides, but the last time I talked to him was about 3 weeks ago. Let me know if you are seriously interested and I'll call to Japan to find out. Aloha, Dave <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

DAMNATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" />
I was OH so close to finding a set all by myself.
Oh well.
anyway, he had the same idea i had, about getting them straight from Japan, cuz as everyone knows the US stock is gone.
hell, it took me a whole week just to get a GM-Japan representative to give me the part numbers for 'em, that greedy bastid
I tried contacting sum japan salvage yards that specialize in shipping parts to the US, but for sum odd reason most of em dont even understand english.
i guess i can stop my b!tching and hand over my $360.

I'm waiting to get mine. I always spend the money on other things before I get to the lenses. I guess when I place an order for a couple of sets, I'll order mine as well. I really should order these with the local car shows coming up in August and October.

So I assume these lights work perfectly. that its not like trading out 93-96 lights were the lights still work like 97+ and only have the look of the older ones. In other words it wont light up like the 93-96 ones. Are the turn signals the amber ends? That hole half lights up when turning? I just need some info...thanks
