Default Taillights for escort mk4

Hello.

I was wondering if anyone would have a clue on where to get clear taillights for an Escort mk4. They are impossible to get here in Finland but I would assume they can still be found somewhere in the UK. Help would really be appreciated.

Thank You.

PS. I appologize if this post is in wrong section. Didn't find any section it would really fit to.

I have a set on my S2 that will be coming off soon!

I have no idea how much the postage would be to Finland and how much they are worth!

Lovely taillights and a VERY lovely car!

Not sure what the postage could be. Doubt it's much tho.
GF ordered some weird gadgets to fix her hair with from UK and the postage was about 10€.

I have no idea what they could be worth either. I bought smoked rearlights for my other Escort and the cost me about 50€.

Name your price on those and we will see if we get a deal.

I tried looking on ebay but didn't find anything. (Probably cause I've never used ebay and don't know how to use it.)
If you found a pair maybe you could send me a link?

Just checked with a couple of couriers for postage:-

Transglobal express would be Ł51.92 +vat (about 63 euro)

Parcel Force would be Ł56.99 (about 63 euro).

Very expensive postage and not really worth your while trying to source them from the UK!

Those prices are a joke! Try www.interparcel.com , I sent a set of rears for half that price to Australia lol.

I checked the lights at tintdesign, but they don't look the same as the ones on THEDMAN's Escort. They got too much red imo.

Got some new questions too.

Noticed that tintdesign has a -60mm suspensionkit (GMAX). Anyone has any experience on these?
Will I have alot of trouble with my 17" wheels (205/40R17)?
And is GMAX any good?
Atleast they are alot cheaper then any kits here in Finland.

This seems to be a pretty cheap possibility:

http://www.worldwide-parcelservices.co.uk/ ~19Ł (inc. VAT)

I tried with a 50x30x20 cm package and 10kg.
