Tail lights OEM v. 3rd party
Folks, regarding the updated tail lights, any difference in quality of MB OEM tail lights and the generics that are available on eBay (through ProExhaust)
On my R129, I bought 3rd party clear corners (they look better than OEM clear corners), but the lamp sockets did not fit as tightly and precisely as the OEM corners.
Thanks in advance for any infomation.

Thanks, appreciate the advice.
Anyone know the cost of the actual MB lights? I could call my dealership's parts department, but if anyone knows, I'd appreciate the info.
