tail lights...need help

I'm looking for the best deal on some tail lights. They are the Elegante by TYC for my 03 Lancer Es. Black housing...So far the best price I can find is $147 shipped. Is that the best I can find, or does anyone know anywhere cheaper? Thanks.

oh you mean those ever so popular fake chrome POS that look like they should be stocked on a Wal-Mart shelf....yeah i don't like those. You have the Evo 7 replicas right? I was really liking those, but I want to do a black theme throughout. I was also thinking if I can't find a decent deal on these then maybe getting the Evo 7's and blacking out the clear directional area but not sure how good that would look

ok so searching ebay again, found these...similar but different. Can't decide if I like them or not, does anybody have these, or have a picture of them on a lancer? I do like the price, $87.99 shipped. Opinions?

Is this what you were thinking about doing? Thought I'd let you know how it looked.

I think they look good too, I almost bought them instead of the ones pictured above. I just always hated the red reflector on the side of the Lancer's version. Its there on the cheaper and more expensive ones...

If you don't mind that though then I'd say you couldn't go wrong with them
