Fixing broken headlight housing - Toyota Yaris Forums

Yea $30 for 3 tabs is MUCH better than $80 for the headlight assembly I found on ebay. And it'd be such a waste since the actual headlight aside from the tabs is completely ok.

However I took a look at it and I'm not sure where I'd screw the new tabs in. On 2 of the broken tabs, there are these 2 holes sticking out (the first picture) so that looks promising. But the third I can't guess as to where I'd screw it in (second picture). Maybe it'll make more sense when I buy the tabs or when I look again during daylight, but at least it's not obvious to me now.

There are only two repair tabs, so apparently Toyota doesn't consider the top one to be critical.
