really you dont need to buy them...i didnt feel like spending the extra 50 bucks a side...i asked my buddy who had put the 96 style in his 95 and he said all thats different is there is one bulb thats smaller ...so he said he took clear silicon and just sealed up the extra with that...saved 100 bucks...i did the same thing when i switched them in my 94...havnt leaked...and theyve been in for ...like a year or close to it....looks fine if you look up close while there lit you can see that its smaller but honestly ...its not noticable..and thats just 100 more bucks towards going faster...

$50 a side, where do you shop? I got both for $40 and I think it was worth it doing the right way and it doesn't look gaf. eBay FTW
