Default Red/white tail lights for european ufc10?

Does anyone know where i can get a set of red/white tail lights
for a european ufc 10?

The european cars got tail lights more like on the ufc20s=
A more wide "gap" between the lights on the trunk lid.

This is because of the wide european licenseplates.

European ufc10:

Default tail lights

Hi
Take a look on Ebay UK under Lexus ls400 parts you should be able to get a set for under $50 used.

please note that the OP is looking for aftermarket "red/clear/red" style taillights, not OEM lights.

So, at the risk of being completely retarded....
The op wants a particular set of tails.
Is the posted pic NOT what is asked for?

This post really makes me think to the euro tail light post just last week, needing a whole euro trunk lid.

I see this post, I feel sardilou is right, I even wanted to post a link to the euro trunk lid thread.........so what am I missing?

Some guys in the UK have bought the US clusters and then modified the inner trunk sections to fit the UK models, I don't know how they did this or what they looked like when finished.
I have a Toyota Celsior JDM import so they would be a straight swop over on mine but i just tinted the originals with the paint being dark silver.

Hi There is some confusion being caused here by Drifter
The original request was for red white red taillights and that is what you will get if you look on the Uk Ebay site, there was no mention in the original post of aftermarket and in fact there is no such thing with regards the LS400 available in the Uk.
I have owned my Car seventeen years have every spare part it should require and know the car inside out and backwards so when it comes to getting the lowdown on european designated Lexus LS400's you need to listen to the Brit.
If you go to the thread on 90 /92 LS400 required for photoshoot you will see a perfect example of the tail lights you require on my car.

The OP is looking for the aftermarket RCR tail lights that fit the european "wide" license plate (so a narrow trunk light). This is currently not in production by any of the big manufacturers, and is subsequently unavailable on ebay.
If he wanted, the OP could buy regular "standard width (US/UK-import/JP) RCR Taillights and redrill the required mounting holes in the trunk lid (or have a body shop do it if he's not comfortable).

Hi
Ok, I get it, you are correct in the sense that the OP is asking for something that is unavailable and because you would not be able to get them in Europe is why we would have never heard of them they would probably be illegal and banned even if they were available.Someone was a little surprised on the thread at the front fog lights on the UK Lexus LS400 .These were fitted because of the regulations at the time on the height from the road that fog lights could be fitted to the car. The rear fog lights are built into the same cluster as the reversing light on the Uk model but on the Celsior there is no Rear fog light and if a Celsior (Japanese national version of the LS400) is imported into the UK (They are RHD)a aftermarket single add on fog light as to be fitted to make it legal for UK roads. I know this is irrelevant to you guys but it shows the complexity of the different regulations on Auto lighting worldwide.and one of the reasons that aftermarket lighting kits are not universal.
