Hey guys,
This is my first real post on here, I've tried looking for the answer to this but i cant find it anywhere...
I hit a sheep on the front passenger corner of the car when I was on holiday (don't worry it got up and walked away, I was almost at a stop, if it was another foot away I would have stopped in time) but it's done some damage to the front of my car, cracked bumper etc. The passenger headlight is now wobbling around, me and my friend have had a look and the little bit that sticks out and bolts behind the grill is snapped, which gives me an excuse to get some new headlights
but we also noticed there a big price of plastic that has snapped under the headlight, we could only feel it by putting our hands through a little gap, and haven't had a chance to get the bumper off to inspect it properly. Does anyone know what that part may be, I've looked at pictures of the front panel online and it seems it attaches to the panel and the headlight.
I hope this makes sense, il try and get some pictures at some point.
Thanks in advance.
Gary.

You may have done some damage to the slam panel so worth checking that when you get it in bits. This 1K0807889 is what sits under the light
Double check the headlight brackets (3) as these are designed to snap in collisions and are easily replaced
