I *just* replaced my right rear tail lamp assembly in my 1995 940 Wagon.
The $59.00 L&L replacement is pretty nice. It's not OEM of course, but the fit is actually rather good. I'd recommend re-using the rubber gasket from your old taillight - as the one that comes from the L&L is stiff and gaps a bit at the top. It is definitely worth the 59.00. Clean, clear, perfect function. Lens plastic is *well* attached and unlikely to fall off like some of the dealer lights. Looks brand new from the dealer. Plus, it has all four bulb mounts (new dealer taillights no longer have the upper rear foglight.

The only drawback is that the tollerances are a *little* different, barely noticable, but the lens is just slightly closer to the tailgate. That and they lack the color-coded stickers that help you wire the thing back up correctly.

The service I got (via e-mail) was very prompt. I had an answer to my question about the foglights in <10 minutes. Shipping was prompt as well.
