Hi,

I decided to replace my headlight bulbs again as the last lot weren't bright at all.

I think its a pain in the !Removed! that you have to remove the whole headlight on the passenger side (due to the fuse box) just to replace a bulb. STUPID DESIGN!!

So I managed to remove both headlights and unfortunately snapped one of the four white hooks on the clips, on both sides, so these could now do with replacing. I would imagine these will be cheap to pick up from Ford.

So I come to replace the headlight back onto the car, and due to my stupidity didn't see that the headlight support was stuck on the frame of the car, and it snapped off!!

There are 2 screws and one push in clip on the headlight, its one of the screw tabs I have snapped off! :(

See pic...

The headlight is now only screwed in by one screw and the one push in tab, therefore it is slightly loose and not a tight fit at all.

I don't fancy paying £300 odd quid for a new whole headlight, but would any sort of glue fix it back together securely?!

Thanks!!!

Don't worry about it mate, i did the same thing and i couldn't justify that price for a new headlight as well. luckily enough i found away aroung the problem and it is just as good as the original bracket, its basically a metal plate moulded into shape, its hard to explain but i'll get you a pic up asap and you can see how its done. Problem Solved ;)

Thanks, a picture would be good, what i've done though is used araldite to glue it back together and metal plates for support.

Went to change my bulbs today and noticed too that the top bit was snapped on my light!
