Take off your rear hatch int piece,the one that covers the hatch release.There should be some black rubber nuts or somethin like it,thats what holds onto the tail lens.Someone probally took them off and didnt put them back on.If so you have to go to the j/y to find some.

Looks like someone has to go to the junk yard.....fast! That really sucks-I'm sorry I dont have tail light lenses laying around that I could overnite to you or something. It's always something-just like my tranny last nite. Good thing I always have spares!

Are you saying the outer lens seperated from the lamp housing ?

Break out the hot glue gun until you can get some new ones.

I must say Deadbird, you are the man when it comes to visual aids! I see something, and I'm wondering what they're talking about, and sure enough, you post a pic to clear it up! Thanks!

Fast.as.fuc, replace the whole lens. Don't do the glue thing unless you have no choice. Email me and I will give you the number to someone that has the whole lens at a great price.

Camarochic, Where do you cruise at? I live in Glenwood. Consider coming to Hammond on Friday nights to see all the beautiful cars. Email me for more info or go to No. Indiana/Chicago burbs for addl. details.

I've got a set of '91 GTA lights just waiting to be sold. If you want 'em, there only $115 + shipping.

get that walmart temporary tape. you cant get a ticket for it, but you cannot get an inspection sticker with it. it is legal as long as you use it as a temporary fix
