Thumbs up Product/Vendor Review - Trunk lid tail-lights

I wanted to share a good story here.

The lights in the trunk lid of my '99 had faded SO much that they were actually pink, even before the brake/tail light came on! It was bad!
The attached picture doesn't do the pink justice.

I was going to buy used ones from an auto-recycler but in that search at www.car-parts.com, I came across these guys: http://www.lkqcorp.com/location/sites.asp?L=30

They prefer to deal with a business so keep that in mind when calling. I had mine shipped to a local auto-related business and went and picked them up.

They were actual NEW Toyota lens', they fit perfect, came with the rubber seal, a bulb and even an adapter cable that I didnt' need.
Great product, and cheaper than any Toyota dealership!

Thanks for sharing! Out here in the AZ sun, I see so many GS' with faded out inners. So much so, that I think they are cleared inners LOL. Which made me think that I should just leave my inners out in the sun all summer instead of buying D.Speed lenses :

or you can just buy a red tint spray and put 2-3 coats on it and it will look like new.

good mod, alot of the sub 2001 models have pink inners here in town

btw lkq is a auto recycler btw although they might carry some new stuff. i bought my gen 4 nav ecu upgrade from them off their ebay page and i bought my used gs430 diff from the local LKQ place when i broke my supra TT diff
