Question repairing headlights?

OK, so I got in a wreck a while back. I had some black housed TYC projectors on then, and I didn't think I hurt them at all. The shop that fixed it said something was cracked, so I had the stock ones put back on, but I couldnt find anything wrong with the projectors. So now I go to put them back on, because I can trade someone my stock headlights for an Octane front if I pay for shipping; pretty good deal to me. I put them on, and one of the bolt brackets has snapped off. Its kinda dark right now, so I cant take pics, but there are only three bolts. Its the one on the side that you have to take off the bumper cover to get to. The whole things just gone. I was wondering; could I possible have some shop repair them? I could give them the other light for measuring, but would it be that hard to have them attach a 3 inch piece of plastic back onto that thing? Its just that they're worth like $150, but they're not worth anything right now. Thanks.

well i took them to my shop today. They said they should be able to attach a metal bracket with a bunch of holes in it, and one should line up. It should be done tomorrow. Yay!

tyc vendor should have a warranty on them, see if they can cover it for you under that, you will prolly have to pay for shipping though

these came with the car when I bought them, so I dont have receipt or boxes or anything. How much do you think this place will charge me?
