How To Fix a Tail Light Cover?

So my tail light cover (the plastic piece) on my R50 justa cracked in multiple spots. Is there anywhere I could buy just the plastic piece or is there anyway I could repair it? Thanks!

One of my tail lights got broken while on the dragon this year. I'm interested to see if there is a solution. Mine is $154 pls labor and it has to be the entire assembly. Ug. Until a DIY day I had a tech dab some silicone on it. Looking for other options now.

You can not just get the cover. You have to replace them. Ebay has lots of them cheap.

+1, even if you could just get a lens it is a little difficult to separate and make it look clean. Just pony up for a new one, and if they are not going to match because the other side is faded, look at a new set (possibly aftermarket or junkyard takeoffs of OEM)

All one unit like they said above.
Sometimes they get a little cloudy on the lens with age, if you replace one with a new one, you will be able to tell which is the new one.

The have an enclosed housing. Depends also on what year you have for additional options.
