Broken Headlight Housing
 
2 Attachment(s)
Hello all!

I found the corners housing of my headlights has a small broken piece. On both headlights - one on top corner, one on bottom corner. It's not noticeable unless you're looking for it, but it I know it's there.

Is there a relatively inexpensive fix for this?

Any good ideas other than going to a junkyard to find headlights and finding a shop to replace just the housing? Even an aesthetic solution to cover these broken corners would be good.

Thanks!

used tail lights are cheap, even headlights are about 250 for used ones

I had my car repainted. I do know the shop removed both headlights in the process, so my thought is that they didn't handle them carefully. But the shop had a picture of the car pre-paint showing the driver side headlight with the small broken piece already. So I'm really not sure how it happened.

Maybe they couldn't get it back in correctly and snipped the end(s) to make it fit.

That was my thought even before seeing your 2nd post that someone had removed them.

They broke them, put them back and snapped a picture to cover their asses then disassembled them again to paint.
