ebay will be your cheapest. fitment can be kinda iffy on some of them.

personally, i think the stock lights look better than those on ebay. either save up and find some DavidL red/clears or stay stock.

that's the thing. they are no longer made and once in a while they pop up on here for sale. in fact, i know just a few weeks ago some were for sale and noone would buy even at a ridiculously low price! so i guess don't hold your breath. i just think they look much nicer than the ebay ones.

no prob. good luck with the search.

oh, and another option, though a bit more expensive, is to convert to a 97-99 rear. this will allow you to use 97-99 taillights and can then make your own read/clears.

Well, it actually requires you to replace the trunk lid. Unless you can get the lid for cheap and don't have to paint, it tends to get expensive. On top of that, you also have to buy the 97-99 tails.

The ones on ebay are the exact same ones that the vendors here sell. I know because I bought both sets. I think they look great although some don't like them. The fittment is crap however, they don't compare to OEM quality wise. The gasket around them that seals water out of your trunk is a joke and is almost impossible to get to stay in the correct place when you install them. I got around this by using lots of clear silicone caulk around them. Yes, I know it sounds horrible and tacky but my car is Pearl White and you actually cannot see it at all unless I point it out. Even the guy at he detail shop didn't notice it until I told him.

I agree completely. I also think that these look better than david's clears on a pearl white car. For just about any other color though, i'd wait for some david's to pop up.
