how can i fix/rig this???

2k se and where the blinker bulb goes into the headlight it must of came loose and melted the plastic hole that the bulb goes into..... now its egg shapped and way to big to hold the bulb socket..... how can i rig this to keep the buld in its proper spot without replacing the headlight???? i was maybe thinking some kind of putty/epoxy that doesnt get hard so that i can remove if/when bulb goes out...

You'll need to put some type of collar between the bulb and bulb socket so that it will brace itself against the hole when installed.

Personally, I'd spend the money and get a new headlight from the junkyard.

You may wanna try this.
It's the same type of adhesive that holds the rear tail lights in place. Will not harden permanently; so you can change the bulb if you need to.

ive just gone to junk yards and found another headlight or sidemarker that uses the same bulb type and cut the part that holds the bulb, out and then attached it to the back of ur headlight as a replacement.
