Default Tail Light Lense

Sorry to say that but I accidentally cracked right rear tail light lense on my beloved car.
The crack hard to see...but I can't not to notice it every time I look at it.
I tried Ebay. But there are only Euro ones available for sale there...with the red/yellow color scheme...If I buy it I would have to replace the left unbroken light too to match the right one.
I wonder if it is possible to replace only plastic part (red transparent "glass") instead of replacing whole light.
I would appreciate if you recommend any sources where I could acquire a right tail light lense.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!

since youv'e already tried ebay...i would start looking at salvage yards. I only know of one that deals with 993's is called LA Dismantlers (http://www.911pcar.com/). Their salvage yard is somewhere in Los Angeles and I'm pretty sure you can pick up the part you need at a reasonable price. I personally have not dealt with them so I can't say much about their service but i'm sure somewhere here can...

Sad when stuff like that happens, but before you buy a used part, either from a dismantler or Ebay, it is wise to know the cost of a new part from Porsche.

I have seen stuff go on Ebay for more than the new price, it makes you wonder.

Sputnik,

PM me, I have a set of US red taillights ('97) I had to swap for Euro ones when my car came to Germany. I am coming to US in January and could bring them along.

Maybe the seller has a right one
