Replacement Tail Lens Recommdations?

I'm looking to get replacement tail light lenses and chrome trim for the truck. They are readily available but there seems to be a pretty good spread in prices. Does anyone have any recommendations for brand is the best value? Is there a big difference in the quality that goes along with the prices?

TIA

I'm pretty sure your local Orileys will have them and the price is pretty decent. They have the complete housing, lens, and chrome trim for $17.99 each if I remember correctly.

Don't have any Orileys in this area. Is it worth getting the housing too or will the replacement lenses fit ok.

I've replaced them a few times and always left the housing alone.

I think the last set I bought was from an Auto Zone-ish place.
