I posted about it in the wanted adds, but nobody is looking at it... I know several people change out their factory rear tailgate lights for the aftermarket ones... so does anyone have a factory one laying around in good working condition that they want to get rid of??
Thanks

150! YIKES!! are we talking about the same light? I want the factory one, not aftermarket... I believe I am going to attempt fixing my old one before I spend any money.

When you search, look for 2001 through 2007 Classic. Chevey and GMC duallies used the same light through these years (maybe '99 and '00, too). Surely something will turn up for less than $150.00.
On edit: You're saying Tailgate lights. Do you mean tail lights?

no, the actual tail gate light..... or the one that is actually beneath the tailgate... on the back of the bed.. maybe im not calling it by its correct name.

If you are looking for the light bar that goes basically between the top of the bumper and the bottom of the tailgate, they are anywhere from 50 to 100 bucks new.
Do the search on " Tailgate Light bars for GMC " or, you can put in Chevy if thats what you have, same difference.
If you are talking about the actual break lights that fit into the side panel to the sides of the tailgate, you would seriously be around the same price, or cheaper in some cases to go with an after market Euro style light.
My Euros this time around were 150 for the pair, like you said, stock are about that for just one.
Unfortunately, I Had Euros on already when the one got the hairline crack in the lens, so I dont have the stock ones to offer.

Hmmm. I broke mine a couple of years ago, and it seemed like I only paid $30 or so for it...

I bought an led one from northern that is very similar to the factory one for $20 you just have to wire it in instead of pluging it in. Been on for 1.5 years with no problems I think they sell it as a trailer light.

Everything's cheaper in Florida.

Get the whole light bar that goes across. Looks better IMO.

Made time to do the install today. Really turned out great. It's funny how such a small addition can make a big difference. I'll get some pictures posted when the rain stops.
