That worked awesome! I wish I would of known about this years ago when I replaced one of my lights with a used one from ebay. I still have the other one though so I can use it for a test run if I ever need to.

If you have a spare, id suggest trying it. It's so simple.

They are priced a little steep but if you really want a fresh pair they are out there.

$400 Vs. $5-$10 and 30 minutes of your time? close to 400 bucks could be spent much better then on tail lights. I saw that too and was like no F'in way.

I agree but I have seen a lot of rough looking tail lights out there. Not just the fading on the inside but scratches and scrapes on the outside. Just saying, they are available if someone wants a new pair to go with a resto or something like that. Personally, I got a bunch of free stuff from my buddy in return for removing his engine from his 98 formula parts car. Got tails, t-top glass, hatch struts and very good condition rear spring isolators. I might throw those tails on since they look a little better on the outside than mine do.

yea true, I was just excited saving hundreds, since mine look good from the outside. Ive restored lenses too, but mine were in good shape

big pricey mods are nice to have but lil' things that clean up the overall appearance are my favorites.
