1A Auto Z28 Parking Light Review
Pricing may help form a decision.
From GMPartsDirect, $103.04 shipped.
Pro: GM part (GM 5975681 and 5975862).
Con: Since it’s a special order, I’d “guess” shipment might be delayed.
From moderndaymuscle, $108.95 plus shipping.
Pro: GM part, reasonable shipping ($5 and change to me).
Con: No communication after several e-mails requesting parts availability. That said, many board members have experienced excellent service.
From my local GM dealership, $126.90 (with a 10% discount) including tax.
Pro: GM part, next day delivery.
Con: Most expensive of the four companies.
From 1A, $107.05 shipped.
Pro: Shipping. Returns.*
Con: Price, considering this is a Taiwanese reproduction (Depo). Also the fitment “may” be problematic as the pics below demonstrate (I say “may” because the pass side was a much better fit than the driver’s side—and remember too that I’m **** about such matters while others might be well satisfied with both sides). The first pic is the repro, the second GM.
*To 1A’s credit, they would have accepted a return, but I had very lightly used a Dremel on the driver’s side hoping for a better fit.
Given the closeness in prices, I whole-heartedly recommend the GM part. To those who are interested, I chose my local dealership for the convenience of next-day delivery.
Should any one be interested in the repros and a nice price (The Dremel marks are scarcely noticeable and affect nothing), please PM me or check the classifieds for more info/pics:
