So i bumped my drivers headlight after leaving the handbrake off a few months ago. finally got round to replacing it as the brackets had snapped!

When fitting the new one, it doesn't sit flush at all, the outside edge sits under and the inside edge sits out from where it should be. I think the bracket underneath is bent slightly? Not sure if anyones got any idea on whether or not i can buy this braket again? Or is it worth straightening?

Or is it best to maybe bite the bullet and pay a body shop to straighten it up, say 2 hours labour at mates rates?

 

The light is held on by two really flimsy looking brackets. You can buy these from Honda.

 

Thanks a lot! Any ideas on price/part number, is it worth straightening them?

 

Have you tried losening all the bolts and wiggling into place ?

If not, the brackets are available and not that pricey have a look here http://www.lingshondaparts.com/honda...block_03=23877 (Item No 2 or 4 depending on which hand side) or parts 14 or 15 http://www.lingshondaparts.com/honda...block_03=19270

Don't forget to try Si@Hendy for a price/availabilty

 

They bend quite easyly, and bend back with ease as well. Worth giving it a go yourself.
