Default I need to buy a tail light......

I'm looking for a left tail light assembly for an '88 S4. Must be like new. Anyone have one for sale?

For like new, I'd suggest 928 Intl.

http://www.mailordercentral.com/928i...sp?number=U928 631 483 01

Their 50% sale is coming soon, which should put this into very reasonable territory (if they have stock)

Mint left taillights are hard to find. Right side easier. I wonder why? :-)

I think this is true for left-rear versus right-rear in general. Left rear trim for my Galaxie is much more expensive and rare than right-rear trim. Maybe because it's the side out to the road when a car is parked?

I wonder if the opposite is true in RHD countries.

Now that's how a good analytical mind works.

On earlier Jag sedans, the front park lights are at just the right height to crunch on a curb. The right lens cost four times what the left one did...

Sun Coast Porsche online in Florida is usually pretty reasonable. Check with Luke at Sunset Imports parts in Portland, Oregon. He will often match or come close to matching internet prices. 503 641-8600.

Only available new via Porsche. We have been selling a lot of new ones latley because of this.
I am trying to get the wholesalers to bring them back into inventory direct from the OEM.
They all dropped them due to low demand.
