Last i heard, they were made by TYC. Weba bought a set and they spider cracked on him. Haven tried it myself though.

Re: Aftermarket tailights
i work in the auto body field and i can tell you from first hand experience that MOST aftermarket replacement parts are junk. they either leak or crack or are just plain out made poorly. goes along with the saying you get what you pay for. i'd hit up your closest yard or call up the gm parts department at your closest gm dealership.

Listed for a '92, but all Beretta tails are the same bolt in and size.

Re: Aftermarket tailights
Thanks guys got the answer I was looking for, they ain't that durable then. I'm gonna go with a new GM set, cause I checked all 12 berettas at the salvage yard I work at and the either a a little crack or large one or spider cracks what kills them around here is the changing weather every year from an average 80 degree summer to a 0 degree winter that's hard on plastics especially beretta taillights with their design

Re: Aftermarket tailights
The TYC lights were wonderful when i first got them. In a year they leaked more than the 20 year old originals, always full of moisture.
I tried to fix that with re-gluing them, next day they had bazillion cracks formed.
Also they are not as dark as the stock ones.. but that can also be because the 20 year old ones are faded?

They may stay uncracked if you don't open them, but get ready for lot of moisture inside.
I have to mention that i did not bake em before opening, that could have saved from those, but what i find weird is that they formed the cracks next day
