You can't buy the lens by itself. You have the buy the whole unit.

As stated you have to buy the whole unit, I failed 2 find separate lens, I got a complete unit on bay from japan (02 plate, different lens set up) £42.95 + £25 p&p, good as new & delivered in 3 days !

If its a white lens then it does not form part of the test so would not be a fail.
If its red and providing there is a reflector,or amber then repair tape is acceptable providing it shows the correct color for that light.
If its a white lensed indicator providing it has an amber bulb will not fail.

Don't bin the old one.

It should be repairable.

I've thought about using a precision cutting tool like a Dremel disc to make a neat aperture and then fit in a precision cut piece of any roughly suitable lens from a breaker.

Then put that assembly back on ready for the next mishap and keep the perfect one in storage, maybe to appease a fussy M o T tester.

that reminds me of the communal rear tyre used by british motorcyclists for mots in the 60/70's (cant say before i was born)
