Well my brake lights haven't worked on my tails for a while now, and tonight the tail light went out on one of them. So I really need to get some new ones soon.
I was just wondering if anybody had some lying around that they don't need anymore that I could pick up for cheap, either amber or clear. Maybe I could do some work on your car and get 'em for free since I'm pretty tight on money. :D

Stupid question, but did you check the bulbs?
You might be able to pull the tails out and check the metal bits that connect to the bulbs, and if you find some damage there (rust, etc.) fix it with solder. I did a quick-fix on my old E36 tails like that a couple years ago, they had old water damage and rusted those pathways.
There's a 325 sitting at Vines right now. I think it still has the tails on it.

Ya, checked all the bulbs. I never thought about trying to fix the metal parts though. I'll try it and see if I can get it to work.
Too expensive at vines.

I believe I have some OEM rear taillights (2DR) somewhere in my cousin's garage in Riverchase.
I'm not sure how much of a hurry you're in since I won't be down that way till this Sunday to search for it...

Coupe/sedan tails are different, Monchai. I found that out after buying some on eBay without reading the description close enough.

David you are in luck. I still have my old sedan ambers. I'll bring them over along with the corner lights.
