Hey all, DH and I were driving to Abilene when we came up on a road kill with a Turkey Buzzard having breakfast. I slowed down from 70 to between 55-60mph. Anyway, he decided to fly right at us when we drove by, and he struck the Versa and rolled up over the windshield. We looked behind us after he hit and didn't see him anywhere. So when we got to our DD's house in Abilene, DH inspected the V for damage. The headlight assembly on the drivers side was pushed in. When we opened the hood the bracket that holds the assembly in place was snapped. Any ideas what we should do about fixing it? The light still works, but it was knocked out of the slots that hold it in place to the bumper. Does anyone know where to pick up a reasonably priced unit? Thanks for any help you can offer.

if your talking about the plastic bracket/tab that is part of the light where the screw goes into, you can go to a body shop or something and get them to plastic weld the snapped tab. i did that and it saved me from buying a whole new light assembly.
