Dont they sell lenses for the rear lights for about $12 new?

I agree with West Texas Z, most auto supply houses have them for next to nothing, with and without the chrome.

Yup. I live near LMC, went to their counter, and got some with the trim for about 24 bucks around a year ago. I figure the ones that were on the truck were not original so it was worth it to just save myself a few hours and spend the money for a quick easy fix.
