* New to me that is.
I bought a pair of tails from rjolly87 some time back. They were in considerably better shape than my current ones but needed some refurbing. Delamination was at a minimum and the outer lens was complete but both the clear and colored lenses were hazy. I disassembled them and cleaned and polished both lenses. It made a big difference. Reassembly and installation was performed this evening.
As luck would have it, the car I obtained from Tonyrodz had a near perfect left taillight. So in the following "after" pics, the left was not refurbed but the right was:

What a difference a nice set of tails has made on this car. Come nightfall, it only gets better as the clean clear lenses highlight the recessed colored lenses. And oooooh... those stripes!
