    Startec Tail lights - No Longer Available

    Startec Tail lights

    Startec tail lights in very good condition. Standard 30 year old wear. No cracks. Not sure which type of startec these are as I think there's two different types. I let you guys determine that.

    $750 shipped.

      Honestly, there is no dark ,or pink ,or blue startecs. They became pinking because of fading. And if you take two pinkish startecs from two different cars, the colour also varies.

        I have read differently and seen how different they look, but maybe you're right...I'm no expert

            While it's true they can fade if left out in the sun over time, they also came in different hues brand new out of the box too. TUV was never a problem because they all came with paperwork and additional bumper reflectors when new. I just know that the older Startec's tend to be pink. Whether that is from fading or simply how they were made in the batch is up for debate.

              Early model startecs came in two shades. Pinkish as standard color and smoke as the options. As far as the pink goes it depends if they were from the original early batches made or from later production.
              As far as the fading there is some but most of it from getting dirty inside of the light and the outside loosing it's shine. Both can be addressed
