One last thing...did the inner tails change at all on the '01+ GS? Or can I use my '00 inner tails with the '01+ outer tails? I need to know if it will match in terms of redness of the lenses?

My inner lights matched fine. I guess it depends if your car has been out in the sun alot.

LI (Exit 61). BTW I'll be at that meet on the 29th (Cliff told me about it when he picked up one of my headlights).

Oh, one more thing...do you think anyone here would buy my '98 - '00 tails if I cleared them out, shined 'em up and put them in the classifieds???

It involves cutting the lens and housing apart (Dremel tool), removing the amber and resealing the lights...
