Default Rear Brake Light

Just after some advice I was loading some stuff into the rear and I knocked the rear brake light and now is got a crack in it.

It doesn't look HUGE and its hasn't left a hole but its about 10cms long and the crack gos from the surface to the internal part.

Alas what should I do? Do I just go buy some cheap selleys silcone stuff and cover it or can I leave it?

And PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't say I have to replace it lol (I don't want to know how much a new rear light is :togo: )

Is it one of the side brake lights? As in, it's not the brake light in the spoiler?
If it is, I've got a spare set of tail lights lying around. I can sell you the replacement one if you wanted to do that.
PM me if you're interested mate.

Were you trying to load the car with a forklift or something! They're pretty hard to break.
