Kids in the street hit my '88 Bonne last night with a soccer ball and broke the drivers side rear tail light lens. Most places online want over $100 for these items. Local junk yard did not have one. Any ideas so I'll not break the bank?

Good luck finding any. Most I find in the jy are already broke.

Where did you look online, because I could never find any?

The last two I sold, sold for $126 and $138 respectively for near mint ones.

I'll keep my eyes open for them though, as they come up cheap occasionally, but not mint.

They're usually over $100...they break VERY easily. Wish I had the extras that I had for my 89, they were absolutely mint, but nobody ever wanted them on here, so I sold them for $200 to a friend who I BELIEVE sold them on ebay.

Pointless story, yes, but good luck finding them....good ones are gettin pretty rare.

Are there other years that the '88 Bonneville tail lenses are compatible with? Or is '88 the only model year that will work.

I am pretty sure the 87-91 will interchange, but there were a few differences in appearance in a couple years. Then there are the sse versions too (even rarer).

The picture of the car I'm looking for the lense for is the red car on the top left of the posting from "My First Bonne" seen above.

87-89 LE and SE models have the red with black stripes.

90-91 LE and SE models have three color orange, red and white with a clear covering.

And 88-91 SSEs have tinted tails....they vary slightly in design I believe, but mostly the same.

SSE ones will fit, they just look different.
That's what I have on my LE.
I have a right one, but the clear outer cover is broken off in one spot. You could use a Dremel to cut some more of the clear off and make it look passable. That's what I planned to do if I ever needed a spare. Let me know if you don't find a better one.

just a note. If your car isn't an SSE, you can get the tail lights fairly cheap, as there are more of them, and they had less issues. The prices I mentioned were for mint SSE tail lights. As for the LE/SE ones, I can see what the yard here has and let you know the cost, but not til next week.

Do see what you have and let me know. Ours is an '88 Bonnie LE, looks like the picture in your post.

Thanks

I have a set as well. I will let both sides go for $45.00. That is for both right and left plus shipping. They were removed from a 1988 LE and are in perfect shape.
