Bracket on my right headlight definitely snapped off today (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) light will not raise and the motor that raises it is doing some strange things.. it's stuck at an awkwardly crooked angle while closed. Should I order the new bracket from PP? Hopefully I won't be needing a new light motor..*fingers crossed*

What snapped?
If you unplug the relay can you turn the light up by hand?

Don't order anyhting until you have done some basic trouble shooting. The lever that moved the lamp up and down is stout, and I doubt that it snapped.
