Bhfear Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Here we go again... I can't believe these were not posted to this "not your stuff" thread sooner but anyways.. I'm out at $440 ebay Item# 231281357127
91Pioneer Posted July 16, 2014 Posted July 16, 2014 Thanks, I didn't see that auction. I'd love to own those, but.... I'd be afraid to put them on my truck in case they got broken. So is the current high bidder 9*****s someone here with deep pockets? I just went out and carefully looked over my lenses. No cracks, no chips.... argh I really don't need these but I want them.... so steep...
Bhfear Posted July 17, 2014 Author Posted July 17, 2014 I was outbid at 440. The last set on ebay sold in this price range but they were chrome outlined ones.
88ComancheMitch Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Well, that's a lot of money. How much do they sell for just as a decent set, not new?
91Pioneer Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Well this auction ended at $560. I really wanted these, but there's no way I can justify that price. To make myself feel better, I used some plastic polish on my own taillights, I think they turned out okay :-)
Minuit Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 :agree: If your taillights aren't damaged, you'll be surprised what some polish will do to them. If you want to go a step further, clear coating then polishing will make them even better!
91Pioneer Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Yeah I saw that. I would definitely clear coat if it had some kind of UV protector in it. To be honest the one thing that picks me just a bit about the tail lights is the yellowness of the backup lamp clearish part. I will play around, but I was thinking of not taking my lenses apart, but I'd maybe remove them and spray water & soap inside the housings, let it dry, then re-install. Not sure how much that will help...?
johnj92131 Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 Well, I will sell my NOS tail lights for $510 if somebody here wants them. I got them in a fit of madness a couple of years ago. But my truck is not a show truck and I am fine with that.
91Pioneer Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 johnj, post up a new thread in the For Sale forum to get more exposure.

To make myself feel better, I used some plastic polish on my own taillights, I think they turned out okay :-) which polish did you use? anybody know what the taillights sold for when they were available from dealers?
91Pioneer Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 which polish did you use? Meguiar's PlastX, I used it on the instrument cluster lens also with good results. It's not too abrasive.
HOrnbrod Posted July 20, 2014 Posted July 20, 2014 anybody know what the taillights sold for when they were available from dealers? $75 and change each.
