Best repair for broken tail light

[bigwheel]

Actually its on the outside shield and is a fairly symmetrical hole about the size of a golf ball. Shows a little white light to the back is the only legal issue. Need to be all red in that area..lol. Seem to recall putting some kinda red tape over some back in the day but don't know what is best these days. Thanks. Its a fairly recently bought used car so Im still trying to make the salesman fix it lol.
