Howdy All,

Due to an unfortunate incident I need a new rear passenger tail light for my 1994 TS Wagon (broke the plastic over the indicator light). Unfortunately it's different to the sedan which seems to be more abundant.

I called a bunch of places who didn't have any finally found a place in Malaga(WA - don't recall the name) that will sell me one for $120 but that seems fairly steep .. I found a couple over east that would do one for ~$60 but then you need to add shipping... Also new one from Mitsu dealer was $260..

Anyone know what this should reasonably be worth? (or got one spare? :)

Thanks,
Trent

you eastern states guys dont realise how lucky you are...
um i assume that was mitsubie? they are malaga ish right?
anyway what you need to do is find a small wreckers. i know a good one only problem... its in busso. for example from there ive had rocker cover 10$ door trims 5$, he always says "5$ in my hand will buy me more than a 50$ price tag will..."
if you get desperate i can pull the taillight off my wagon and replace it later, its being mothballed... again in busso, but i could get it sent up. let me know as im off to adelaide for a conference tomorrow and will need to get brother to pull it off the car:P

edit: and also again going to remind you of what im sure you would have heard from ferox about a hundred times, there are no diamante front setups here except the one on bens car or so it seems. so quit bitching about prices and start putting them on your cars:P least you can get them)

Ditto. I'm sure one of us "easteners" could hook you up for easily less than $50 inc shipping if you get desperate.

I'll do another call around on Monday and if not I might try take one of you up on that! Thanks. :)
