help - tail light recommendation? 200

posted by  someone claiming to be volvo girl on  Wed Apr 25 09:02 CST 2012 [RELATED]

I need to replace the tail lights on my 240 sedan.

i have come across a few aftermarket brands in the $70 range and genuine volvo ones in the $200 plus range.

i have heard the aftermarket ones can fall apart easily (eg. seams that aren't waterproof etc).

is this one of those things that you should pay up for the best quality?

can anyone recommend a brand?

    I would thoroughly comb Ebay for Cibie Valeo OEM lenses from a trustworthy seller. The aftermarket versions are all compromises for the tradeoff in cost. The originals are very hard to find in pick and pulls these days. I sold a pair for $150 recently. They were nice.
