Must've hit something.

I believe you gotta replace the headlight.

Some high quality epoxy should be able to take care of that. Maybe reinforce with some thin plastic cut from something like a margarine container.

I got mine broken too.
No need to buy a new headlight!
I dropped by to a local Toyota authorized service center and they have mounted some special set of headlight holders which is provided exactly by Toyota for this purpose. It is a small piece of plastic that replaces the original headlight support and is mounted to the headlight body by some screws.
I cannot find it on the Internet but I guess I can take i picture once the daylight appears :D
