Any experience with reproduction taillight lenses?
« on: June 16, 2016, 19:01:17 »
Looking at tail light lenses and the factory ones are $600 each and the reproduction ones are $350 a pair.  Can anyone comment on the quality of the reproduction lenses?

I've used them before and felt they were pretty good quality.
