They look to be 82-84 lights... nothing special. If they are something out of the ordinary, I don't see it. I personally think this guy is being clever and trying to make a fast buck off of someone. Same as stating something is RARE on e-bay, people go nuts for that crap.

hey why dont you check out how the blinker is only the bottom part, and the turn signal is on the outside not on the inside, and the brake light is where the turn signal should be, its like te ones from europe, i kinda like them. if you like them get em.

The main difference is that the outside is all yellow, and that the reverse is only on the bottom half of the assembly. I would buy them if they went with what I was doing with my car, but I really like how the grid style lights look when they are all red. Oh well, I thought that someone would like them.

I kind of like them, would they be direct bolt in or would you have to change the wiring for the lights in any way?

They would be a direct bolt in. The only thing I would do it get some turn siginal light bulbs to put in the brake light socket"those are clear while the turn siginals are yellow tinted".

In the pic that I posted notice that the black things on either side of the plate aren't there compared to the ebay ones.The black pieces are flat and the ebays aren't.

look @ the plate on that silver 3rd gen. must have been an export euro version of the taillights as well as an export japan version. The euro version with the black plates removed to accomidate the physically longer plates they run in Europe?
