Tail light lenses interchangeable between BSM and non-BSM?

[yup ram]

Soooooo, i backed my week old truck into my table saw last week and cracked the lens on my passenger side tail light. While shopping for replacement options, i noticed taillights without blind spot monitoring can be had for nearly half as much as ones that include it. I have several questions that i would love some opinions on...

First, can the tail light lens be removed? I see there are several screws on the back of the assembly that must hold it all together. Next, would a lens from a non-BSM taillight be a direct replacement for one that does have BSM? Lastly, if the above answers are anything but positive, does this broken taillight hold any real value outside of the BSM sensor? I see some cracked taillights selling for hundreds of dollars on eBay and am trying to recoup some of the $800 i just spent on a new replacement. Figured mentioning the uses this broken part has might help the sale.

You can simply move the sensor to the new taillight, it's easier than changing the lens. You can read about it here https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/is-it-possible-to-add-blind-spot.13516/page-4
Here you can find pictures of disassembled taillight https://www.ebay.com/itm/224799396151?hash=item3457169137:g:etcAAOSwoAFhhusA&LH_ItemCondition=4

So basically the cracked taillight is pretty useless aside from the BSM sensor. Good to know. Thank you!
