Try autobarn, supercheap, repco all those places. It is now 'illegal' well atleast is here in darwin, but they can still sell old stock. So ring around see if they have any if they do your in luck, if not things like ebay work.

So I got it today, however, I have a few questions.

Which parts of the tail light do I need to tape up/if any?
What spray can I use to clear coat the lights for a glossy finish (The guy @ AutoPro said it might be a 2 step process)?

Ok for mine I simply took the tail lights out though you can tape the surrounding area (so no overspray and no paint on the car paint). Then spray away.
If you put the can of paint in warm water (fairly hot so 2/3 kettle to 1/3 tap) and leave it in there for 15mins to heat it up and spray from the bottom of the tail lights first (so bottom, left to right and work your way up) it will leave a nicer finish and wont run.

As for the clear coat. Well to be honest I didnt use any and it turned out fine. But I guess you could use some high quality clear coat. Though I would test that out on a hidden part first, or a friends car.
