So i was wanting some verticals when i first got the car so last weekend we got some for $30 for both of them. We installed them last weekend but i didn't take pics until today. I like the verticals but i think im gonna paint the horizontals black and put them back in. :dontknow:. Heres some pics of the verticals, dont mind the color they were $30.

I say paint the vertical bezels black and keep them, but also I'm partial to the verts. $30 for the pair is a good deal though.

I found some dupli color paint at auto zone that is pretty close to our BB color. It's GM marine paint. I don't have the # with me right now. Anyway it will be way better that the red and closer than the bezels on the verts. Keep both and switch between the 2.
Horizontials FTW $0.02

do the left horizontal and leave it stock color, then do the vert and paint that bezel black on the right side.... best of both worlds :)

You're getting ripped off if youre paying any more than that.

Thats because people on here think everyone is made of money. I've bought about 3 or 4 sets locally for under $35/pair. Hell, I've even been given a set or two in the past. And if you want to do a little manual labor, the local junkyards around here list them for $13.25 each. They go pretty fast in the junkyard, but if you catch them on the right day, you can usually snag a fresh pair.

i still think exports are outrageously overpriced, but its not like normal sn95 tail lights are a rarity. even if the bezels arent in the best shape, most people are going to paint them anyway, whether its to match their car or to black... and hell, if theyre verticals, you can even just buy new ones. so its not like finding a pair of sn95 tail lights in good shape is a chore...
