Trunk lid lamp question
 
Hello -

I need a new LH trunk lid lamp assembly for my '94 SSE. I found this on ebay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BONNE...3286.m20.l1116

Although listed as being for a '93, it sure looks identical to the one on my '94.

I need to get it replaced asap, as I broke it a weeek or 2 ago and now it's letting water into my trunk.

Can anyone comment on the compatibility of this item with a '94?

Thanks
Matt

Seems kinda high to me. I bet the yard would of been better price? Oh well congrats on the win.

Yeah, it seemed a bit high to me, but mostly for the shipping. $14 for a taillight? What's it weigh... 250 lbs or something? But that's the game they play. Anyway when I opened my trunk yesterday, and saw all the water dripping from the broken lamp, I decided to expedite things and not go salvage yard hunting, although I did google some. I did find one other one for I think $14, but I'm an impulse buyer.

Ya a yard would have been alot cheaper and I didnt think about the shipping Ebay'ers always inflate ridiculously. I paid $75 for one for my Dodge dually last summer, couldnt find one in a yard. Least you got a nice one. Bonne's arent the most common finds these days. The price of iron has the yards stripping their inventorys. Had a guy come by in May and give me $200 for an old Ford 4x4 collecting rust:)

Wow... I heard a story that people are going around stealing cat. converters to sell to the scrap man. I guess if they steal light poles and live copper wire, it's not too unbelievable.

Also people are coming up with some pretty clever ways to steal gas from cars and stations....

The next years are going to be very interesting I think.

But now I've gone off topic. Off to the lounge!
