'94 Tail lights
« on: September 01, 2009, 03:59:00 AM »

Hey Anthony and Russ! How have you dealt with the melting issue? I've had to deal with this recently. I changed out one on my daily driver with one off another car. Did they use a junk plastic during the production of these? What have you guys done for repairs? Do you somehow surgically cut a socket off of some other tail-light assembly and glue or plastic weld it in place? If so, what units have you used? Is one better than another. This one I removed is "ugly", but the lense is great. I don't want to throw it away. Gus

Gus-
You can cut the sockets out of a set of 91-93 tails, and epoxy them in place of the melted 94's.  Easy to do, and works great!  If you don't want to go through the effort, I have a PERFECT set of 94 tails with NO melting at all, anywhere! $300 with the center section, or $250 without!

Hey Russ! Thanks on the help. I have a couple of cracked early capri lights that I'll cut up. I also have a '94 parts car with good lights that I haven't picked up yet. As rare as those lights will be, I just didn't want to throw them away. Gost! if you want a pair? $200 sounds fair when I come across another pair or go to Russ, as I don't normally sell to others.  Gus

Hey Josh!  When I pick it up, I'll check. Maybe end of next week. Russ should have a couple of black carpetted cars. He picked up a good conditioned '94 earlier this year.  Gus
