looks like either your tail light was moved or your trunk was hit as well. from the pics, the gap from the top of the trunk line gets narrower as you go down then back to normal...

try your local body shop for parts or junk yard

Thats enough damage to warrant a trip to the body shop. You look like you need a little more than a replacement light..

If you're deductable is not too high I would highly recommend bringing the car to a bodyshop to get everything fixed. That's if you have comprehensive coverage on the car, this will not increase your premium.
