Re: Tail Lights

I bought my tail lights from O'reilly's too, and they price matched NAPA online for $13 each. Fit great, and look a LOT better then the faided out stock ones.

Re: Tail Lights

I got mine from classic parts, they fit well and came complete except for the clips on the bedsides and no screws. Here is a link for you!
