Default Escort Mk4 - red / red-white taillights ?

Hi there,

i need red or red/white taillights for my Mk4 XR3i but I can't find a shop for them. red/white I've seen here on several cars - red ones I've seen in a Shop in the 90s.
Can anyone help ?

...and as the clear taillights weren't very popular in germany, you can't find them here.
At german junkyards every car that is older 15 years (except Mercs, BMW, Audi and VW) are scrapped immediately. The last Escort from 80-90 I've seen on a junkyard was about 4-5 years ago.
