Ok, I hope somebody else does not make the same mistake, when changing the headlight bulb last night one of the tabs cracked inside the headlight. This happened when I unplugged the wires on the back of the bulb while it was mounted in the headlight. Really easy to do it this way but I really hope somebody else does not make the same mistake, could have prevented this by removing the bulb from the headlight first and then unplug the connector off the back of the bulb. I did not pull very hard and the plugs did disconnect from the bulb, but it was enough pressure to crack the tab and pull it out the back of the housing. The plastic seems brittle as it was easy to crack. I have super glued it back and letting it dry overnight. Not confident it is going to hold though, has someone else made this repair?
