That's not a bargain, no matter how you look at it. You can buy the headlights cheaper than that for the set and they're more expensive...normally. Granted those tails are LED lit, but so what. It's a bulb just like the ones you can buy from superbrightleds.com. They are replacement bulbs bud, not anything special at all!
All the bulbs are, are these...
http://superbrightleds.com/tail-brake-turn.html

or these..

Note the numbers on the housings.
Those are $6.99 each and you can get them in white, amber, or red and narrow or wide beam.
Luxeon LEDs are $25 each and not really that special.
Then get yourself the stock tails from Ebay like these..
for $50. There's also a set for just the tail light ends (minus the center piece) for $30.

Now that I've done the research for you, go and buy these and call it a day.
Tell you what, go to the yard, find a set of stock tails and then order some LED replacement bulbs and then show the dealership and tell him that you got them for a bargain.

Silver, he needs the 3rd brake light on the spoiler.

maybe check junk yards, or Ebay for a same color spoiler.

95-96's came with the third brake light in the spoiler...X2 for a junk yard, ebay, or someone who might be parting out there car. Check the dsm sites and you should be able to find something.

LOL, not seriously, so if that thing gets broken or stops working... it cannot be fix and you should just get a new one? with all the spoiler? sounds illogical, same way as 220 sounds illogial for it

IF you can solder, just pick up a new set of LEDS, from besthongkong... they can be set up to be OEM replacement, so all it would be is daisy chaining or puttin LEDS on a board. Not hard at all, man. Whole thing oughta cost ya about 20 bills.
