You need to try and keep it as a sealed unit if possible so do not get drilling it in any way. If you do puncture the assembly it may mist up on damp days (90% of the time in UK!)

I was lucky to have bits of other lamps which I cut bits off and plastic glued them onto my housing. Doesn't matter how messy it is as long as secure and near as possible in the correct location otherwise you will get level issues at MOT time.
I did my holes elongated so the unit had some adjustment.

Go for it, put your engineering head on.

Take a few pictures of the broken lamps and post them, I will give you my honest opinion
