ebay vs dorman tailights?










I guess I got what I paid for?


Anyone have any experience with these ? I'm looking at the carbon taillights.

That's crap. They didn't have pics?

I have a set of the Nissan black SE tails just like those. You could have the set for $60 plus whatever they cost to ship. There's no damage at all. The black sticky sealant is still on them but that's what seals them. You push it back into the channel and reuse it.

I'll take some pics if you're interested.

Junkyard. Climb inside trunk and push them out with your feet. It's very easy. Bring some rags, so you don't touch the goo. If you do it right you'll need very little, if any, RTV when you install them.

They sell the proper seal material. It's called "Ribbon Sealer".

PM sent.
Here are the pics. It's a pain to attach them in a PM.
