Default Fixing broken taillight lens

My brother crashed into my car in my own driveway and smashed up the right rear taillight pretty good. I was able to find almost all of the pieces and actually glue them bake into place. there's only 1 small piece missing form the lower orange half of the light, almost unnoticable even at night. I don't really feel like forking out a bunch of money for my car so how can i fix up the taillight to look semi decent. Sanding it will just scratch the crap out of it so what can i do? I'm prolly gonna spray them all red if I can make them look flush enough.

What year is your car? I got a 96-97 right side assembly that I'll sell you cheap. It'll look a lot better then a glued one

4th gen, 92 accord. It's really not worth it to me to spend over even $30 on them that why i was wondering if i can somehow just improve them for free. I was recomended to wet sand them. What grade should i use and should i use a normal sandpaper first?

Look on ebay, a lot of times you can find the whole assembly for less the $30.
