Default is this headlight usable?

headlight on craigslist

yesterday somebody ran into the the driverside front end, taking out my front bumper, lip, frender and headlight. (i have had the worst luck this year with my car argg..)

will the headlight posted above work properly if glued? or do you think the structural integrity of the broken clip will be compromised? any advice is welcome. thanks in advance.

if the headlight will function properly, i will go ahead and pull the trigger asap.

shouldn't be a problem. people always break those tabs and people always reglue headlights after putting diffusers in the ap1's.

just some people are anal.

^i'd rather keep the difference after they cut me a check, but i might just be lazy and say **** it and get everything restored with new parts.

btw they recommended i go to 19th autobody center in sf, any reviews about their work?
