If only the lens is required to solve your problem, it is available (in the US) separately from the complete stop light assembly. US P/N's are

SL500 High Mount Stop Lamp Assembly 1298201356 which includes a new lens

SL500 High Mount Stop Lamp Lens Only 1298202466

The full assemblies are expensive, in the hundred$ here. The lens only is around $35 from the dealer. I've never seen these items from any of the online sellers, but you may want to use the p/n's and search eBay Germany. Good hunting-
