same thing happened to me, then i realised someone mustve knocked into my car at some point!!!!

well easy to fit new ones, see if you can repair them with fibreglass ist tho, should be easy enough, think new set is roughly Â£40 cant remember tho, i bought smoked ones instead

epoxy resin (aralidite) is the 2 part glue but for fixing the headlight bracket you\'d probably be better off using epoxy putty (milliput, mix & fix) as its like bluetac which drys solid in about 5 mins and when its dry you can drill it, sand it, paint it and it sticks just about as firmly as epoxy resin
