I seem to remember it being easy, though the workshop manual has a note saying "Be careful when fitting the light cluster so that the hook in the front edge and the guide in the rear edge are aligned with the headlamp." There should be a torx screw just behind the headlight to hold it in. Presumably that'll either still be there, holding in a broken bit of the old cluster, or it'll be missing completely. You could always experiment with the one on the other side. Cheers, Colin.
