Icon, Broken drl tube

So i managed to break one of the led tubes for the drl when placing the module…
Have anyone managed to somehow fix it or do i have to replace the whole headlight?[IMG][/IMG]

It seems like i found a temporary solution by gluing a thin piece of glas to the led on the module

Could you make a picture please? I have one with same issue. Thanks 😊
Well as it turned out, the tubing itself wasnt broken. It was those things that sticks out on either side.
If you look at the left tube you can see it had come loose from the plastic braket on the left side. Just needed to push it back

Doesnt seem to light any less than on my left headlight without those parts that fell off

I think I may have just done the same thing, I broke one of the brackets on one of the tubes.

After pushing back the tube into the bracket did you still need to glue that piece of glass?

If not how did your temporary fix work out? Is it still working? Also what kind of glue did you use?
