Attached are some pics of my baby. 1st off let me begin by appologising..she's filty, but im out of town on business and on 12hr shifts and living in a hotel..for maby another week. ive had her for about a month, got it just under 70k mi and ive already almost 4k on it. it looks(inside/out)/drives/feels/and even smells like a car with maby 30k on it. the previous owner obviously loved and took care of it as will i. i was just so amazed that there was absolutely NOTHING wrong with this car(except a tiny scratch on the back bumper and some wear on the +/- climate control buttons) however last night i noticed on headlight was slightly off, or maby i though the crome accent underneath was off. i opened the hood and noticed the plastic headlight housing brakets on top were broken off..i dont know how or why, theres no other visible damage anywhere in the area. theres about a half inch of play with the light when you grab it, but none when the hood is shut. pic quality is poor, just snaped them in the work p-lot with iphone. so, will i need a new housing? does the glass and the housing come seperate? now juggling thought of clear corner lenses..and will that solve this issue? Thanks in advance for any advice!

Go to ecstuning.com. They sell a repair kit for the broken tabs.
Website here:
http://www.ecstuning.com/Audi-C5_A6-...ng/Headlights/
Scroll all the way down the page for the repair kits. They run $26.89 each, and come specific right for left headlamp.
You will not need to spearate the housnig and the lens for this repair, but maybe while it is out, you could do the clear corner mod (heat gun or oven method are fine).
Good luck!!!
