Mine was missing half the bracket on the left side. $20 on ebay for a used one.
I have had that left headlight out of the car at least six times. First to replace the cloudy lens cover with a new Chinesium one from ebay. I thought I did a good job of sealing it to the housing with fresh butyl mastic. But apparently not, as water would get in. Baked it and re-sealed it a few weeks ago with clear RTV. Thought that fixed it.
Nope. Been pretty rainy here, and now water is back inside. I don't really want to glob on more RTV, so what other entry points might there be? These are xenons. The high-beam socket has a thick rubber seal, but none of the others do besides than the twist-on collar or receptacle. The little rubber vent tube is pointing downwards and is not clogged; there was a little crumbly foam in there that I removed.
I could pull these headlights blindfolded now...
