I`d buy a new GTI

ECSTuningMedia says:

That kit you listed is a quick fix for now but If I was going to do this I would by a complete new housing, it is up to you!

Lawrence Conyer says:

So the screw at the top of my light on the left side broke and the headlight moves around would you recommend putting ES#252759 to fix my problem or would I have to buy a whole new light?

I’ve got to do this procedure to replace my passenger high beam bulb since the little metal clip decided to come lose from it’s plastic holder now there’s no way to secure the bulb with normal sized human hands and head to see it….
