Is it possible to buy just the lens for a tail light?

I own a Kia Spectra 2002 and was in an accident not too long ago. The damage was mostly to the trunk but the lens on one of my tail lights is severely cracked. The light works but the lens looks bad. Is it possible to just replace the lens on the tail light assembly or do I have to go and replace the whole tail light to fix this problem? Thanks for any help.

Update:

It's for a Kia Spectra 2002 model.

    The taillight assembly is glued together at the factory to meet weather-tight requirements. That's why they will sell it as one piece. I doubt that you can find the lens by itself commercially and doubt that the wrecker would want to sell just the lens. taking it off without breaking it would be difficult and the wrecker will end up with the incomplete assembly.

    Go to a salvage yard and buy the whole assembly.

    It is impossible to say without looking at the car. Some are all one piece and some are not.

    take it off tip out any moisture then dry it out with a hair dryer placed new sealer around it and replace it then use a non placing sealer around the bulb holders could stop it
