Broken Taillight

Hey guys, so I was in a parking lot and I backed up and put the car and drive... Or so I thought, apparently I bumped the clutch with my elbow going to put my hand on the steering wheel and bumped it into neutral. So when I took my foot off the brake and applied the gas I rolled backwards into a cement block. (It was on an incline). Broke the taillight cover and put some very nasty gouges below the light in my bumper Needless to say, this is the worst day of my life. I feel like a complete idiot.

So anyone know where I can get a new taillight? Searched online but couldn't find any legit parts.

I'll take some pics in a bit, the actual taillight seems to be working fine, I might just have to replace the cover, if that is possible.

Here's a pic, it was hard to get the actual damage to show, so I stuck my finger inside the taillight to show you guys where it is.

Not sure I want to go with the amber housings on these.

If I am looking at this correctly, I think I can buy a replacement for only $130?

Danget so close, anyone know about only the cover though? The actual light isn't damaged,
The cover for it is just smashed, is there a way to just replace that?

Not on a coupe, they are one piece.
