Default rear interior light and high level brake light

Both rear interior light and high level brake light have fallen down. The interior light appears to be dissintegrating, and the superglue that held the high level brake light in place gave up. I assume neither are available, what are the best bodges?

If you know the colour put a request for the interior light in the wanted section.
Have you looked at ebay or Rimmers web site for the internal light?

Ebay is a bust at the moment, but I will keep looking. The only part Rimmers don't have is the part I need, isn't it always the way. I will stick an ad in the wanted, cheers

You can repair it yourself, have a look at the how to pages. If you are not in a hurry, aliexpress have them much cheaper. But eventually the clips will break again. So i.m.o. better to repair them with stronger results.

funny you should mention that, I repaired the interior light with epoxy and sheet Aluminium, way stronger than OE, and the repair is hidden on the back.
