Just wondering if I'm missing something. The least expensive I've seen the side marker lenses (set of four) for my RR - 1970 is about $85 - $125. Can a piece of plastic be that much? My father-in-law has a '69 Chevelle and his were like $3.95 each. In the process of paint and body work and wanting/needed to get new ones.

No, you are not missing anything. That's the price they are asking; I've never seen them cheaper. Most of the ones at the lower price point are not marked with #'s or the pentastar either, if that's important to you.

Wow, didn't know that. Thanks for the responses. Just good to know that I'm not missing a less expensive alternative. I'm all for spending money on things that need it, but plastic marker lights at that price seem like a lot, but again, I appreciate the replies.

If any of the rest of you know of an alternative, holler. I'm close to "Trim Parts" in Cincinnati, but they don't make them for my make/model at this time.

Yeah, a lot of our '70 stuff is "1-year only". So as if regular Mopar parts aren't expensive enough, the '70-only stuff is even more.

I guess we are a niche market inside of a niche market.
