If your Dak SE is like my 91 LE CC, our tail lights have chrome edge
around the outside, while generic replacement may not have chrome
accent. When a runaway WalMart shopping cart took out my left rear tail
light, all I could find was either factory unit ($59) or generic ($25).
The chrome just wasn't worth it to me, and you really don't notice its
absence unless you're really looking.
