Am i the only one who got handled on my euro taillight ebay purchase? I got 88-98 ck silverado/tahoe/burban... blah blah tails and they wont fit my 90 silvy or my 96 tahoe. The plug hits the buckets and the lights stick out like a sore thumb. Is it the ebay euros that are a POS or is it just aftermarket in general?

just the aftermarket in general lol. the orginal APC euros that came out fit the best IMO.

I just bought ebay tails...SUCK!. I got them and they 0nly had two holes in them, one for brake and one for reverse. NO SIGNALS INSTALLED. I took my stock tacoma taillights apart and they have three bulbs, reverse..brake..and signal. I had to cut the taillight and drill a hole for the third lamp. ALSO..the holes that were in the after market tails were no the same as the stock bulbs. The "twist" on assembly was completely wrong. But i made them work so now they are custom ...just playin.

my ebay taillights I bought for my 97' tahoe a few years bace looked great at the time, but I had to cut out a new hole in the body behind the lens. after about three months the red lenses melted. I tried to contact the "custom shop" who sold them on ebay, but come to find out, they never existed. first and last time I used ebay

your truck was like, "hey dont put those dumb lookin lights on me", so its not that the light doesnt fit, but your truck blocked its installation...
