Hi

my drivers headlight mounting brackets have broken so the whole headlamp unit is now loose and is free to move which is causing the light beam to skip around when driving, i had a look at it appears to me the headlight is secured the the car by two (possibly more) points these are the parts that have failed, can I get these replaced?

If so any idea how much?
 
Take the bumper cover off and take a closer look. If it's the lugs broken off they need plastic welding back on. You can DIY with soldering iron with a bit of skill if you fancy a try, but probably best to find a specialist. Failing that it's a new light unit

So how did you break the lugs? Car park accident?

only had the car 2 weeks, bought new headlight bulbs and went in the wheel arch to fit them and it appears the light had been glued into place before but i guess ill never know for sure
