Unhappy Cracked rear lamp cover

Stupid I know but I managed to knock into and crack one of the rear light cluster covers when lifting my bike down off the rack.

Please can someone point out a "How to" replace it and can anyone advise what bits I need please?

Thanks.

Remove clip-in side panel in boot, undo nut on back of light unit, then release a couple of plastic clips and the whole unit pushes out from the body aperture. When replacing light push in, ensure rubber seal is seated ok to prevent water leaks and do not over-tighten the retaining nut or you risk breaking the plastic.
