Black Tail Lights

I don't know how it happened, but my left tailight has a large crack in it. Annoying yes, but this gives me the option of getting new lights (I currently have the ones that are all red) and I was thinking of these:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2000-...#ht_1567wt_941

I was wondering if you guys know anything about these ebay lights. I've read on other threads that lights bought from ebay have fitment issues or aren't plug'n'play. I don't understand how this can be if they're manufactured specifically, so I just wanted to get a straight answer. If I bought these could I just put in my old bulbs and screw the lights in place?

Those look ok, but a set of OEM black SE tails would look even better if you can find a pair. But yes, you should be able to plug your old bulbs in and screw the lights on.

I have those ebay tail lights.. They are good but have 02-03 harness for the bulbs.. I retrofitted smaller bulbs and tape... My blickers go a little quicker...

Looks decent. No complaints.
