Default Headlight - Broken Mount (Tabs)

Hi,
I noticed that one of the top taps of the headlight is broken. Does anyone know if these can be replaced? Or does the whole headlight needs to be replaced. I found replacement tabs on ebay, but was wondering if anyone actually replaced only the tabs.
Thanks

Hi @XRX . Is this the right part? https://parts.lexus.com/p/Lexus_2007...119448030.html

My mechanic tried to use epoxy to hold it together.

Do I screw the new part into the holes or do I need to remove the old black piece? The piece has one nut and seems to be attached to the light on the other side.

Thanks

Yes, you will get screws with new plate (be careful - don't overtight the screws)
