Headlights clips are broken, what to do?
by pure luck today while checking some other problems discovered that both headlights clips are broken in the same exact way!!! you can see pics below. The dealer says it most probably cracked from a high force impact with a road bump, which I had before so can't say no.
This is the inner clips holding the headlights (near the grill) and are part of the headlights its self. Now I only have three options: 1- Replace the headlights with OME ones ( I don't like any of the Depos), but the problem is here one headlight cost 4900 SAR (1300$). Is there anywhere that I could get it cheaper?? 2- Get some epoxy glue thing and just glue the crap out of it 3- leave it as is I'm leaning more towards option two, but for me the best option would be option 1 but it is costly.

I actually have the same problem with my left headlight. My right headlight clip is fine even though I was involved in a small fender bender on the front right a couple years ago.
When I checked them I actually noticed both were very very loose so I had to reposition them and retighten but obviously couldn't retighten the broken clip. To be honest, it looks like a very flimsy design and I wouldn't be surprised if this was quite a common problem.

I realised I didn't answer your question. I would say to either try to glue it or leave it as it is. Mine seem to work perfectly fine equally even though the left is broken so I don't see the point of spending $1-2k each replacing them.
Try glueing first if it really bothers you. If it doesn't work, leave it unless it's causing you actual issues.

Guess I will just buy an epoxy and glue them together, I would rather buy me some wheels for those prices.
