replacing taillights, thoughts?
ended up with a crack on my taillight. Body shop quoted 200 for an aftermarket light to replace it. he says its same same. Should I spring the extra cash and go OEM? Or a good quality after market will do the trick.

I think rockauto sells them for around $76 plus shipping. You can even find them on Amazon for around $80 with free shipping.
