ok the black piece behind my headlight is cracked in 2 place, will this cause any trouble when i remove the headlight?

and is the crack able to be fixed or can it be replaced?

The first crack looks like it's behind the front bumper cover and the other is not where the headlight brackets go into. I don't know if you'll have a problem putting it back in but it doesn't look like you will.

Don't know how much the bracket will be, try a junkyard and see if they have it. It will be a lot cheaper than a dealership

Yeah, the header panel is pretty well screwed. You could have some bouncy headlights if you don't get that fixed.

I found a place on line where you can get it for cheap. Gimme a few mintues and I'll find it again.

That should do it.

Go to WaMart & buy some "JB Weld" in the Auto section, it is a 2 part Epoxy & this stuff works GREAT!!! Remember to scuff the broken pieces with some course Sandpaper before applying the Epoxy.

no no you do not fix the headlight mounting panel!!!! :angry:

that is a pretty simple fix, remove the top clips, remove the headlights should be 2 clips that push in on the light it`s self
on both side of the bumper you should have depends on the yr either clips or 7mm bolts that hold the fender liner in place
also it`s easier to remove the entire fender liner
beneath the bumper you shold have a series of 7mm bolts
holding the bumper to the fender are 2 10mm bolts
2 more clips beneath the bumper
it should come right off
the head light mounting panel is just held in by 5 or 6 10 mm bolts
reverse the process
very very simple part to replace
