Default Red Clear Red Tailights for '98-2000 LS400

It is almost impossible to source a set of 1998-2000 RCR tailights.
When I can find them, I'm quoted a cost over $1000? Which is crazy in my opinion.

I know a 98-2000 RCR tailight is a rare find. However, the 1997 version is selling for less than $200 everywhere. Here is my question, will the 1997 version fit my car with minor modifications? If they look ok from the outside I'm willing to do some slight triming and sanding on the inside? Any comments would be appreciated.
Thanks

A body shop should be able to answer your question...

You can change the trunk if you want to use pre 98 tails. $1000 is crazy. I purchased some like the ones above from PGmotoringUSA and they were around $500 but they are also led. Good luck on your search.

Try contacting pgmotoring or elitautostyle. Ask them for the NON LED insurance tails and see if they can still get those in.

Thanks for the clarification on "Insurance Lights"

I thought it was taking a bat to my lights and making an insurance claim.
Thats what "Insurance Lights" are in New Jersey where I grew up!! Haa haa.

"Insurance Rims" "Insurance Stereo" etc.---

Also it looks like the JZS site sources JDM Billet grills that look like my JP.
