97 drivers tail light housing

The Ms. had an *oops* today and backed into a flatbed trailer she didn't see behind her. The tail light is all smashed to he!!, and the bumper skin is a bit scraped and has popped off around the side toward the rear tire. Hopefully it shouldn't be too hard to fix, cause I'm wrapping up some remodel projects and am getting married in a few months= BROKE!

I've been looking around, but am having no luck with web searches or the search feature here. Found 2 on here, both unresolved, with a suggestion of car-parts.com which I plan on trying anyways. I'm gonna check the stealer tomorrow, but I've heard they want like $250. Of course I'll try the boneyards around here too. But does anybody in the S. Pugets Sound (western WA) area know of a source?

Any help, suggestions, or tips would be appreciated. Thanks!

i have a driver side taillight if you want. It has a little piece broken off but it bolts on fine. I mean if you dont want to buy a new one for $250 that is.

i also have a drivers side tail light that got chipped. I repaired it and it looks like a hairline crack, real small less than an inch. I can send you pics you if you want.

Sorry, I forgot to reply. After calling every yard I could think of, I scored at the last one I was going to call, Black Diamond Auto Wrecking. $150 for one in perfect shape. Yeah, I could have found one somewhere for cheaper, but I needed it quick to get the car back on the road. I then spent a couple hours Saturday in disassembly including much of the bumper skin, fender lining, etc., straightening out the metal behind the light, and lining up the parts close enough for now. I didn't want to invest too much time at this point in case I have to tear it all apart to replace the bumper skin. We'll see. Thanks all!
