With all of the Regal/GN parts out there I am really surprised they didn't make these years ago, lucky for me I have a couple sets and restored one for my current Regal.
It's nice that they sell the reverse lens separate since many times those have hairlines cracks or are yellowing.

The twin to my car at a local junkyard (the same in every way cept rear defrost, twilight sentinel and a gold pinstripe instead of silver) had minty taillights. Took em apart, cleaned em, sprayed the inside part silver again and sealed em up. $50 I think. I do wonder how well they're manufactured tho. Stuff like new marker lights and headlight bezels I've bought seem cheap and cheesy.
On my Regal I have already replaced both the front driving lights and the corner marker lights and on my Monte I have replaced every light including going with emblem less 88' style tail lights, I initially worried that some of these aftermarket lights might not have the same light dispersion as the factory ones but all have fit and looked like factory even when lit and I have yet to be disappointed with any I have bought so far.

With original lenses that are in decent shape (Like my Regal tail lights) I have sanded out any imperfections and then polished them back to a really nice finish making them look new again.
Sometimes I wonder if some type of compound experimentation on crazed lights can't bring them back.
I think about those made for TV commercials with the paint sealants that fill and seal paint cracks...
With these repop plastics, I'm curious how the materials used will stand up to heat and cold compared to oem. Or if they will yellow at an accelerated rate.
Never understood how a regal taillight can be relatively clear 40 years later, BUT, a 10 year old headlight lens is more yellow than the Yellow Sea in China.
