Exclamation taillights

some mongrel broke my drivers side tailight a few days before xmas and im thinking what i should do....

1 chuck a s\h one in it from the wreckers

2 new aftermarket one in it

3 or a nice set of the clear ea ones in it

i only found it broken when i bumped it so its held in by string atm.... the plastic is fine apart from a few cracks in it but i cant be bothered using aryldite to fix it... considering the car passed with both lenses cracked when i had to get a rwc nearly 2 years ago when i re registered the car

but im not keen on using eb ed ones cos then ive got to swap bootlids and muck around a lot with the wiring to make it all work like it should and i could do without the hassle atm... and basically i dont have the time

If the wreckers are being pricks, there will always be some on Ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/EA-Falcon-Sed...QQcmdZViewItem

I would take secondhand genuine over new non-genuine personally.

Don't worry about them. There is nothing wrong with a tidy EA. Just remember, none of their cars would exist if it wasn't for the EA
