Nathan is correct, you will need to remove the corner marker (2 8mm) nuts. but pay attention and dont remove the nuts completely. On the body where they mount is slotted (not just a hole) so that you will be able to slide the corner assy out (towards front of car)
I moved my APC box to ease accessability to these two nuts.
I am pretty sure there was another fastener of some type towards the front for the corner assy.
Unhook the plugs for the corner assy and you should have plenty of room to work on the headlight assy.
There is a lower mounting bolt and two upfront on the body stringer across the top of the radiator. I m sure you saw those. There is also a metal bracket which connects the assy to the body at the lowest rear point. I unbolted the bracket from the body then delt with the assy.
As for broken I would suggest a good epoxy or strong super glue. dont worry about the hole, you can redrill. also make sure the mounting surfaces dont change b/c of the epoxy or the light will not install properly.
I purchased two Hella originals for my SPG because I was tired of dealing with the broken parts, mounting complications, and improper/difficult adjustments.
Dealer sold them to me for 100 each, only because when I told him the web had em for same price. every day price was 235 each. What a joke.
Good luck, if you need parts I kept both old assy's and would ship em to ya no prob.
Let me know how it goes.
