It is for a set of clear plastic lenses that look like they belong on a Toyota or Nissan!

I think they're made out of sapphire crystal. Yes, I assume it's the entire assembly. The $2k figure is what I'm guessing the total cost would be for the tail lights (all three) and the side marker lights, front and back. RSC's tail light set goes for $1,695, and I thought I read the AM version goes for around $1,800.

Update:

The OEM clear tail lights are now available for the '06 and '07 Vantage. Apparently, the delay was due to the need for a software download that controls activation of the lights. I was quoted $1,571 for the set, which is less than the $1,800 I had previously heard.

Thanks. I've got an '07 so I'm not sure these will work, but it's worth checking into.

Ahhh you are right. I didn't pay attention to the small print Did you look at the inserts Lanes@macarbon is selling for $425? Wonder what they mean when they say inserts... Just a clear piece of plastic to cover the red?

I like the red on blk, but the wht on slvr is very clean. Saw this one locally for sale and my heart strings are being pulled in its' direction.

Don't know about the inserts, but I did hear from SVAG. Apparently, the software download isn't necessary for the tail lights to function, but the software is necessary for the dash warnings when bulbs burn out.
