Default Cracked tail light

I just noticed one of my tail light covers is cracked, and there is condensation inside. Also, the little square cover in the bumper below the light was slightly raised. It looks like someone may have tapped me in a parking lot. Does anyone know what one of these lenses costs? I assume it is not a DIY repair, correct? What is beneath the square cover in the back--radar for the parking system?

Thanks!

Not sure of the cost but if it is the square cover I am thinking of, it is access to remove the tail light assembly as in this video:

No idea where you live but it’s now a good time to buy the real amber turn signals with sequential turns. Maybe you have them already?
Yes, the unit will have to be replaced anyway.

You can check eBay for tails if you don't want to purchase from dealer. As for changing the light out its fairly easy. It is getting to it that is a slight pain. You have to pull the trim off inside the rear hatch and putting back that trim can be a little challenging. But if I can do it anyone can

DIY depends on how skilled and motivated you are. The square covers are the tow hook mounts.
