Default '80 - '82 Tail Light Lens Source?

My car has these bubble tail light lens and one is broken and all are faded so I need to replace them. They are wired so all 4 turn on with head lights. I believe stock, the two outside lights are tail lights and the inners are back up?

I'd prefer to get stock ones and rewire back to stock configuration but I could live with bubble replacements. I can't find a source for either though. Does anyone sell these?

Most if not all vendors use Trim Parts for the lenses.

I bought a few sets off of eBay to replace the ones on my 80.

I like the parallel wired brake lights, though. I can't control the driver behind me, but I do what I can to be seen. (Not shown, white LED backup lights below bumper)
