Looks like they ripped off the cover and then put in the lenses from an 89-91...then didn't sand down that nasty crap you see there in the pic. They should put some covers on it.

Looks like they might look ok. Definately needs the outer lense on there to tell.

This is a NO RESERVE auction, however a core charge does apply to this auction and will be discussed with the winning bidder.
$25 for two taillights not a bad deal. But WTF a "core charge" for a tail light on eBay?

Good site swolbynos. that guy's car may be the best first gen I've seen.

Also gregs, make sure that you post pictures of your tail lights when done.

I've done this...I put the circles on the inner lenses and tinted the outer ones. this way they don't look stupid during the day. mine don't have the barbell effect either. It's important to measure the distances between the circles. I have 3 on each side(2 brake and 1 turn sig). It would look terrible if they weren't spaced evenly. I'll try to post some pics when I get ahold of a digital cam. I honestly think mine look better then all of these.

a few problems with the tinting tho. it tends to go on very unevenly. and during the day the turn signals arent very bright. I'm hopeing yellow bulbs might help a little.
