Default Looking for left rear tail light assembly

I was driving home from work and a couple cars honked at me so I waved just thinking that they liked my ride. When I got home the rear left tail light was hanging off the car. I am not sure how that happened but unfortunatly it rested against the tail pipe and melted the lens and assembly. I am considering changing them to Euro tail lights.

1. Does anyone have pictures of the Euro rear tail lights on a black 993 or any other color that they could show here?
2. Also does anyone have US or Eurotail lights for sale?
3. If not where is the best place to buy them?

One more question. Does anyone know the best place to buy the grill and hardware for the USA Turbo bumper?

thanks

IMHO I prefer the look of the US taillights....I have the Euro taillights on one car and the amber just doesn't do it for me. You should be able to get the grill and mounting hardware from Sunset for cost+15%...or you can put steel mesh instead of the grill - I did this with bright stainless steel mesh but it looks rather ricey so I will probably switch to black mesh when I have time.

Not the best pic, but I just put the Euro lights on and love them against the black car! And it ties the front corners to the rear now. Have not decidedif I'll sell the stock ones yet.......but I do really like the ambers.

When I bought a pair (3 months ago), VERTEX had the best price by far...better check with them also!

I think the amber lenses look cool on any color car except yellow which is why I don't have any!

Rhino,
Are you still looking for US tail lights? If so, I have a set of left and right I took off the car when I went with the Euro lights.

Thanks for the picture. Where did you purchase them?

The usual....... Ebay. Used, only paid $100 for the pair (one wasn't perfect, but). Also had to pull and reset the actual lenses, because apparently they don't use the side markers in Europe. Had to drill for the light too.
