The repops aren't worth a C _ _ _!  Here is what I have done:  Housings are not 
that hard to find and are not that expensive.  Saw 2 in the swap at bugswarm 
last weekend.  Clean them up, buy some new seals and purchase the repop plastic 
lenses from Wolfsburg West.  These lenses are not that expensive (bout $30 I 
think) and I'll guarantee you can't tell the difference between their repop 
plastic ones and a glass one from 5 feet away.  They are good.  BUT, don't buy 
the repop housing:  They are not worth the shipping cost.

FYI: Talk to Ronnie (Splitpile) he sells repop tail light assemblies for your 
year. AFAIK
Wolfgang also sells the same repops. It's better than forking out the $300+ for 
a decent set.
