Broken Headlight Clips, Please Help!

Can someone please help me!!

I hit a deer, not hard enough to kill, or ever hurt it, it kind of just fell into my car and ran away. Didn't do much damage, except that when he fell he hit my right headlight(which had just been replaced from a previous accident) and broke only the 3 clips that hold the light in place.

I have factory HID headlights and getting a new pair, or even one is upwards of $300

The light still works perfectly, and sits fine, but when i hit any types of bumps it bounces and I'm afraid that it will either pop out, or break the light.

What can I do?


I have a '04 G35x 4dr if that makes any difference.

Hey thanks, that is probably the best answer. I think i will try putting them back together. They look like they broke pretty clean, so it shouldn't be too difficult. I found LOCTITE Plastix bonder Epoxy that is rated up to 3450 psi, so it should hopefully.
