Default tail lights for a 97

hey I recently got a 97 LS and the left tail light is cracked and it won't pass inspection.. anybody know where I can get tail lights for cheap? and maybe even get some 98 tail lights?

The 98 lights are 40mm wider than the 97, according to the list of changes on the Lexus Certified Pre-Owned website.

So, you may have to do a little body work if you want to fit 98 tails.

I recently purchased a 97 LS400 and one rear lense appeared clearer than the rest I asked at the dealer some one put a 98 lense in and fit perfectly in the fender I replaced it with a 97 lense so all matches fine now. PS I still have a right rear 98 lense laying around. Personal Msg. me for info.
