The 2001 and up taillights are "Jewelled". It's hard to describe but they are not as dull and they look a lot better. I know a few members here have updated their taillights, maybe they can explain better.

The second pic is too dark. There is a difference, you need to see it in person (or a better picture).

Dave,

OK, thanks for taking an interest. These cost $130 each from my dealer. If anyone else has any questions, let me know.
