Replacement Marker Lenses

I've been taking pride in my ability to drive my bus fairly skillfully as of late. That caught up to me last night, backing into my parking spot I wasn't paying enough attention to the backup cam and smacked right into a fence. Very localized damage, but I manage to kaboom the lenses of both of my rear markers. Pic for reference, they're above the license plate and "97-14":



I tried finding a replacement online yesterday with no luck. 98 Bluebird TC2000, the remaining shards say they come from "Dominion Auto Toronto". Any idea on where to get 2 new ones? Last resort is just replace both lights, but I'd rather not if I don't have to. Thanks!

Update, I did track down an amber replacement, PN 73-1818. The red is 73-1817, which I have yet to find.

Your endcap there looks pretty unusual. Is that custom, or is that some variant of a See II air foil?

That seems to be how we end up with them. My spoiler showed in the listing pics but I thought it was a building off in the distance.

The spoilers are there to create a downward blast of air to keep the rear of the bus free from dust or snow that would normally accumulate there because of the vortex created at the rear of the vehicle.
