If this isn't an emergency, like to get it inspected or start walking, I would hit e-Bay. With patience you can get a nice set for less than one new one. After two months I finally snagged an excellent pair that looked new after polishing for a little over $50. I have seen pairs go from $50 to a little over $100. My old ones were cracked so bad that water was leaking in THROUGH the lenses (not the seal) and soaking the trunk.

From discussions I had earlier on this board (do a search) it looks like it would be easier to get 86 and later tail light assemblies to work than the other way around.

If your cracks are minor then Eastwood makes a lens repair kit for around $30 you might want to look into.

Good luck,
