I dunno ... because they include the lens housing, perhaps? Then again, it's not like these are a brand new set, so it's still pretty high...

i'd be crazy to pay over the amount that the aftermarket lights sell for on ebay. 60 plus shipping.

They are expensive because the GTs are color specific and therefore harder to find.

Mint cheese-graders in white, black, or red are very hard to find and expensive. Thats actually not a bad price, Ive seen them go for over 200.

Not to mention people throw them out in favor or lx tails all the time! And now anyone who wants to restore to original is gonna have a heck of a time finding them

I'm sure they could be repainted, but I imagine masking all that crap off would be a nightmare...

not really, just lay down strips of the masking tape and use a box cutter to trim it out. Tedious but well worth it


I have always loved them, I think they look sick at night

That would be sweet! Wish I thought of that. I'd sport that plate - no problem.

I just ordered custom plates, but kept it simple...87FIVEOH

There is a company that makes little inserts to put in them for painting they cost $10.
Back on topic. They cost so much because everybody hates them and junked them. I picked up a set of ford OEM ones that werent even painted yet for 25 2 years ago if i still had them i caould easily pull about 250 for em. Too bad i sold them with my old car. IMO they are the best looking lights for the stangs.

That is the exact reason I pulled mine off, I will sell them 5-10 years from now for a bunch more than 200.


But if you want to spend some cash on OEM tails, look no further than Karkraft.com

$600 will net you a pair of 96-98 export tails...
