Default Broken CTR headlight tabs

I just picked up a set of used CTR's off of ebay. They look great, but one of them had two broken tabs (which came unglued in transit). What's the best way to get these back on. I mean I know most people are gonna suggest getting a new headlight, but where can I get just one and I'd rather try to fix this instead of getting a new headlight considering the damn thing looks near new.

Thats tough. You're right I would say just get a new one. But I guess you could try using epoxy and adhering the tabs back on. Or if you can still mount the headlight on and it's secure then just do that. Which tabs are they?

Thanks for the feedback bro. They're the two top tabs on the driver's side headlight.

The thing is they were advertised with broken tabs (re-glued) which wasn't a big deal, but when I opened the box up and uwrapped them (out of bubble wrap mind you) the tabs had come off in transit. I might try to re-glue them. If it doesn't work I'll just sell them unless someone can tell me where I can buy just one.
