yes your welcome ,there are certain parts though that can be just as good as a new part like I bought control arm an sway bar for my 99 I saved a lot by going used an just painted them ,ua I guess thos kinda drive shaft being 2 pieces ,thos 2 parts I needed to pass inspection I saved an got the hole car undercoated 5 holes welded 500.00 new so my bill to fix the car would have been like 1100.00 to 610.00 it cost me ,so I save 500.00 in parts bye going used ,but they were different parts too

i am copying and pasting what u wrote as with all useful info. u must not be in Calif., they do have inspections in NY where I very briefly lived. here they have brutal smog tests that revv up ur engine till u think something like a head gasket might blow, they hoop down on ur engine with a flashlite then hook it up to a computer. u are there for 40 minutes wondering if you don't pass the smog test, you have to fork out 500 bucks or more for a new cat converter or do something with the Oxygen sensor. this happens every 2 yrs. Also u don't move your car every 3 days they chalk it. supposed to move it a 1/10 of a mi. every 72 hrs. then thereafter they can tow your car.

anyway, copied and pasted it for a fog lite, i bought a chinese knockoff on ebay and it was a tad smaller than orig. 4th gen fog lites, they needed a modification in the holding that gets the fog lite screwed in; like holes had to be drilled into it to make it work.

i am going to pay my friend for him to get a '93 original fog lite at the junkyard, he's super busy but goes there at least 2x per month or more. otherwise on a website, Craby posted it's $300 not including paying someone $20 $40 bucks an hour to install for prob 2 hrs of work.

thanks.
