Does anyone know where to get new tail lights or lenses for the 87-88 Birds? TIA~

Unless Ballman found some, I haven't heard of "new lenses" in years. Sorry.
I thought I needed new lights, but they do come apart pretty easily and clean up well. I cleaned them, repainted the black parts, RTV'd them back together and they look great. They didn't have any real bad scratches or anything, but most of the dirt was on the inside as was the peeling black paint. Give it a shot. They do show up on a certain bidding site fairly often, but plan on paying big for them.
I have some , but can only sell the pass.side , I can get the front lights , nothing is cheap , but with NOS parts , you never get a deal . Let me know if you want one side for the rear . Im at [email protected] .......... D.Wilder
longbed, you could check evilBay for the passenger side. There is (or at least there was several weeks ago) a company selling NOS passnger side lights for around $100. We bought one from them for $80 + $20 shipping about two months ago. A friend of ours bought one for $65 + $20 about a month before we did. My guess is they figured out there was a market and have been bumping the price. Personally, I have never seen an NOS driver side anywhere. I'm sure they're around somewhere, I just have never seen them. If you find one (well, two), please let me know. lol
Im really suprised a company hasnt seen the market for these 'disposable' parts from the popular 80s cars. Someone could make some good money. Good thing I just got a NEW set of Headlights for $130! I guess their price is around the $175-200 range eh?
*sigh* I guess Ill settle for some good used lights. Id rather get a pair as one 'new' light and one 'used' light might have a visual difference.
Id restore mine but they are showing little spider cracks all over the lense. I dont know how deep the cracks are.
Thanks guys!
