If I found them what price should I expect to pay?

In buying a stock replacement for my 88 I paid more for shipping then I did the actual tail light

 

They usually go for around $200.

 

150-200 depending on condition and availability of center license plate holder.

Should I be expecting the center holder to be included for $200? If not, does grinding down the older trim look decent enough with the modified lights?

 

200 to 300 bux......one of mine is broken so i am selling one for 70 bux and the other is free.

 

paid 200 for mine- my vert center portion is a bit different- there is a hole for the trunk key.

 

is the center liscence plate holder different? I was under the impression that some minor trimming of sheet metal was needed under the light but i thought that was it, also is there anywhere online that sells them new? I know they'll probably be expensive but i'd just like to see

 

well found my answer 367 EACH from mazda-parts-dealer.com WOW thats steep

 

Check the Parts For Sale section on this site, they usually go for $150-200 bucks for a good pair. I got mine here in perfect condition for $160 . Or check eBay, but be ready to spend a good $200 +shipping.

 

Well the s4 license plate holder fits, you just need to do some trimming. I am lazy and figured hell if I bust it I can just buy another for 15 bucks. I took a pair of vice grips and cracked off the entire top portion (hell you can't see it anyway and it was all rusted out). And I cracked off the little lobes that the s4 taillights go over. Voila it fit perfect. 200 should get you the center piece too but it only bought me 2 lights. But the ones I got were super mint you know....until fed ex got their greasy mits on em..... Oh well, good luck!
