tail lights

I have a broken rear turn signal and cracked tail light casing on a 2001 R1200C. I've glued it back together three times in the past 7 years. I hope it holds this time. A new replacement is about $850, and I have not been able to catch a used one before it sells. Does anyone know if there are...

Is there a way to turn these lights off without disabling the turn signal function? It gets expensive replacing rear light sockets every year.
