Default Where to find replacement for the smaller, circular tail lights

I would like to but some new OEM tail lights, but only for the the two red circular ones. Sewell only sells them as a part of a package that also includes the main, corner tail lamps, but I don't need those. Also, is it easy to replace those circular light covers?

Thanks,

Look up a company called Depo. Many people sell them on eBay, otherwise you can buy OEM units.

good info. mine still shine red, but i can tell the finish on the lense is dull and faded. time to fix that.

looks easy to replace, just pull the liner inside the hood trunk. but those clips look pretty stubborn though. any tips?

Just slide a zip-tie thru the little slot and pull. it won't take you 30-seconds to pull them all.

If you don't want to replace, you can make them look new again by sanding and painting them with a clear red paint such as: http://www.tcpglobal.com/SprayPaintD...FeZFMgodGQgAaA
