Ebay tail light bezels

Anyone buy the black tail light bezels on ebay? Not the stick on kind but the ones that replace the factory bezels. I know most people will say to paint or plasti dip them but i am looking for feedback on the replacements.

Which ones? There is more than one vendor, even on eBay.

And I know you don't care, but as you have to remove them anyway, why not try painting them?

Painting is cheaper, and you keep the OEM part and fit.

found a set on Jegs for $69 that replaces the OEM. Heard too many people saying the plasti dip didn't hold up. The set i ordered had good reviews online, so I will try them out.

I was skeptical on painting but it truly isn't that hard.

I bought them and they turned out okay, they fit pretty good. I can post a pic for you tomorrow after I get home from work. I just realized I don't have any pics of my tail lights so I will snap a few tomorrow. Overall I am happy with the way they look on my 1LE.
Cheers!

Mine are not plastidipped when I ordered them from ebay i picked the flat black ones. The flat finish is exactly how they came out of the box. I suppose you could paint them a different color but I like them as is.
Good luck!

Installed the bezels from Jegs along with the tint from Big Worm, and both look great!
