Has anyone repaired their broken headlight tabs? what did you use? Has anyone tried to replace the complete black piece in the back of the headlight?

All mounting tabs on my kouki headlights are broken

I have repaired a pair of bricks twice(not mine) with fiberglass. both times all 4 tabs broke on both. Glue everything back together and lay fiberglass over everything.. Done

there's no easy way to do it. laying fiberglass around the entire thing sounds like the only solution. You don't have to Buy new head lights, you can try to source some broken ones that have tabs in tact and merge two broken ones into one working one. That's what I did with one of my lights.
