If someone figured out something to fix this, that would be awesome. My driver side has been broke and it really is a pain cause the corner doesn't line up and its held on by ziptie..

sorry to say, but zipties just might be the best solution.

heres one solution i have for mine when it broke off 4 yrs ago and still driving with it until this summer:

1. get some mechanics wire or draw ties.

2. make a tight fit going around the sliding edge of the corner light (so that when you drive it dosent fall off again) be sure to leave some extra length wires freely.

3. once you wrapped enough wires around the sliding edge of the corner light slowly fit it back into place and line it up with the headlight and fender.

4. Now tie the extra length wires onto the headlight bracket or body frame and tie it tight or enough so that when you need to change the bulb out of your corner light you can lossen some wires and tie it back on again.

another solution: if you still have that small broken piece of plastic with you, get some epoxy bond or plastic epoxy stuff at local auto store and glue it back to the broken corner light should be able to hold up until you get new replacement corner.

Hope this helps.

I'll try to post pics up upon request vai PM.

hmmm i am almost positive thats part of the headlight....but maybe it is only on aftermarket ones...i had angel eye crappers back in the day that broke like that, put stocks on and was good....

hmmm let me go see how you can fix it.

Yeah its def part of the headlight, look at this pic i took just for you



New headlight....get a JDM set with City Lights from Password:JDM

or Zip tie it to that metal circle hole piece you see on the frame right behind your second picture....thats what some also do.

Good luck

you can dril a hole in the headlight put on a plastick angle en you can mount the corners again...

also check your front bumper that's the reason why they break off.. hit anything?
