Default Anyone ever have a headlight assembly break

I noticed that one of my headlights on my A6 was aiming low. I went to try to adjust it and noticed that the adjustments seem to have broken. Has this happened to anyone else, or does anyone know the cost of replacing the unit.

Default Mine are Xenon and i fixed them for the price of the lense glue

But the lense was not cracked so it would have been silly to buy new ones
