the driver side tail light is the origonal taillight on the car but the passenger side was replaced becuz the turn signal had a long crack in it. not bad for a 20 yr old tail light and 20 mins of work

now what you should do is sand down the reflector then polish and tint the inside.
That's what I'm in the process of doin and they already look great.
