I see the LH/LX tail-lights in silver cost $82.80 (LRS1040).

Why do the same parts but in black cost $19.95 more when both need to be painted regardless (LRS1041 @ $102.75)?

Is there a genuine reason or is it merely price points for less attractive versus more attractive item?
Cheers, TB

Price points methinks, dont know about rare spares situation but i know i buy black paint a lot cheaper than silver, and its easyer to put on......

I'd buy the silver ones and paint them black personally, then give a one fingered salute to no one in particular after the job is finished. :tease:

They probably made the silver ones first and then did a small run of the black ones, which would add cost. Other than that, I have no idea why.

Thats fairly close to what happened except for the small run , but yes we made the silver ones and not the black ones and they had to be repainted. we had ordered both black and silver but only got silver , after this batch we will make both from the start as we intended to do in the first place
