Default Cracked rear light cover

Hi all,
I have a cracked/broken rear light cover 🙁 for my 2012 v40 D2.
I bought a whole cluster off eBay a while back and finally (well after the return date) asked my mechanic to replace it during its mot. however, he found that the connection point was missing for the led indicators so the put the old one back.
now I have 2 broken light clusters.
I was wondering if it one can change just the plastic cover? This is the only thing Brocken on 1. Must be easier to fix this than electric points? Or, any other suggestions? I’m not a good mechanic, but can give a lot a go.
thanks.

They are super glued together - so no.

Unfortunately - you have to purchase a new or used tail lamp assembly.
