Taillight busted

Someone took it upon themselves to either purposely break my passenger side taillight on my '09 SH-AWD. It also could have been a hit and run.

Regardless, the outside lens is all that is broken. Do I need to replace the entire taillight assembly or is it possible to change just the lens?

Also, will water cause an issue if it gathers inside the lens, causing me to need to tape over the hole?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Man that really sucks. I have discovered based on my need for a lense for my front driver turn signal, that the lense is sold as part of the lighting assembly.

Thanks. Any thoughts on whether water will cause issue?

A couple other questions:

Where is the best place online to buy parts considering price and credibility?

Is the assembly easy to replace for someone who isn't really all that handy?

Thanks in advance again.

I'm not sure if water or moisture would pose any problems. I recently swapped my tail lights with one of the az members and the procedure was quite easy. Plus I'm not handy at all. It's done by partially removing the fabric panel in the truck and unscrewing some components to get to the electrical wires. you can try Acura of delay online parts store

Could be an option. What would you do with it and how much would you give for it?

If you're still intersted, let me know. I finally got the new one and installed it yesterday.

Here's a few pics of the damage.
