eBay deal of the week

I think I may have found my niche in these boards. I am always on eBay looking for cheap stuff, so I figured why not share some of the deals. I am doing this to try to make up for about 67% of my posts that are pointless according to most everyone here. I guess I will post stuff once a week unless nobody seems to find it helpful. Enjoy!

Smoke Tails for $75 shipped!

yeah, I was watching those already. they're cheap because they're just the lenses. Why pay more for the part you already have, right?

You have a point. I didnt look at the clear tails, but I dont think they were full taillight sets and they were $150+. I am still looking right now on the price for LED's that will fit these lenses. I still think it is a good deal for people who just want the "look" for less than $100.

I meant that it's a GOOD thing. The carriers for the tail lights are the same, which means that you already have them. So you save by buying only the lenses.

Oh... Yea. As soon as I get my clear headlights in I will get these lenses. My headlights now look like they have been shat on for the past 16 years by birds and other roadside critters...wait they have.

Not really, the amber bulbs are different from white ones...but if there's a will....
It's actually possible to force an amber indicator bulb into a holder for a clear one ;-)

my experience is that they are interchangeable.

Here in Europe the amber indicator bulbs have a slightly different fitment and you have to force them into the bulb holders (so I'd advise using thick gloves in case the bulb breaks in your hands while you're trying to force it into the holder.)
