Headlight ASSY Dilema
Ok so I ordered a driverside EagleEyes replacement headlight, upon install the the little retainer that goes into the fender broke. So I called and spoke to customer service and they refunded me and didnt want the light back.
So I used a 2 part epoxy and filled the pocket it sits in and actually fixxed it. I now have it installed and am not completely happy.
The reflectors have come loose in the housing, really only on the high beam area. Right now the only thing holding it stable is the bulb connector of the 9005 hi beam.
So my question is: [U]Is there something like a clip or retainer (in the house or out)that I cant see to hold it in place. I see a screw on the Lo beam side but nothing on the Hi beam side?[/U]

In my preparation to put this in the oven I found the issue... After taking all the bulbs out and inspecting it a bit closer I found a white plastic compression thingy (like the one the sits in the fender that the headlight slips into) came undone. This must have happened when I was trying to replace the bulbs after the install. Here the pics...
To fix it all I did was put a couple of fingers in each light housing and pull it back in place.
As I'm typing this I'm realizing I need to go shut off my oven now.... Lol
