Rear Tail light cover broken - how to replace

Drivers side rear tail light is cracked. Can i reaplace just the covering or do i need to get a whole new assembly. If i can replace just the cover, where do i get this part. If i have to replace the entire tail light assembly, is it a difficult job?

Thanks.

Easier to replace the entire assembly. Not difficult at all, it's held in by a bunch of 8mm nuts.

i bought a set on ebay once for a member to make led tails... though they never got made.

otherwise some have ordered a set of led aftermarket ones. should be easy to find on here.

If you replace the entire assembly, you should probably upgrade to LEDs. I recently had one of my tails replaced at the body shop and I can tell a slight color difference between the new one and the original light. Probably no one else notices, but it drives me nuts. Just something to think about if you're thinking of upgrading.
