Angry Rear light cover on station wagon

The red cover on the rear light broke. Can I replace only the cover, or must I replace the entire light assembly?

for sure the LED tail lights on a facelift wagon have to be replaced as a whole. and they are probably very expensive (the ones for my Ford Expedition are $1000-1300 each)

I apologize for sounding uninformed but what is "face lift wagon?" My wagon is a 2014 and, I assume, original.
BTW, my cracked lens is the one on the fender, not the one on the lift gate.

Also, is the light assembly on my wagon the same as the one on the sedan?

"Facelift" is 2014-2016. Wagon and sedan have different rear lights

A new light taillight assembly is pricey if you buy new from MB. I had the same situation on my 2011 wagon and was able to source a used taillight assembly on Ebay. Also you can check parts dismantlers in your area or online to see if they have one available.

I find sourcing used parts from EU to be cheaper because these cars are more common there.

lights are different in the EU than in the USA.
