I always thought they looked the same as older Dakota tail lights. Any chance they're the same?

From looking at Rock Auto, the late 80's Dakota tail lights look the same. ~$18 each side.

Any idea what the difference may be? Looks like Dakota lights are bigger.

But, isnt the initial MD inspection really stringent? Trow, is there anything else you could fail for on a tougher inspection?

Let me repeat myself, "No inspections or emissions EVER" :)

Do you really think I could have ever gotten the mini-truck past ANY kind of inspection let alone a stringent one? :mrgreen: :flipoff2:
