JWolk,
For turninglights, look at the new Kellerman Rhombus (made in right/left pairs). I also have this S.O.C. tail with white glass, black painted and black painted lic.holder. Kellerman Rhombus are a perfect match for this tail, i had the regular kellerman mini before, but the rhombus are way nicer:)

JWolk,

Where did you get the tail piece?


Speed of Color's Shark Nose Tail Housing with white Lamps

I have seen this on a Euro site, but heard that they did not ship to the US, im probably wrong on that though.

I ordered the tail light section from Speed-of-Color. I dealt with Jens. It came with the housing unpainted, an internal bracket, license plate/turn signal bracket, 2 led lights, and GERMAN INSTRUCTIONS! ha ha. good thing I'm an electrical mechanic and I knew what I was doing. I ordered the parts in the middle of February '08. The order took one week to process, and 2 additional weeks to ship (3 weeks total).

The product was pricey, but when you see something that you want, money doesn't seem so important anymore.
