Parking light housing broke

Hi guys, so i was trying to upgrade my parking lights to leds and in the process as i went to pull out the bulb, the housing broke and came off with the bulb, i was thinking about removing the headlight and try to glue it back together. did anyone ever encounter a similar issue? or would anyone be kind to give me some advice on this matter. please and thank you

Same thing happened to me, the tube part of the housing on the headlight assembly broke.

I have this same problem with all(four) bulbs.
So if somebody find solution will be great, because I don't want buy new headlights...

Seems to be a common problem, I was trying to remove the wedge bulb, thing couldn't even budge..broke the housing and still couldn't separate the two. Had to replace bulb and just put the broken piece back in place. I'll have to get some time to remove and glue it on. And possibly gently check housings on other headlamps..seems over time the plastics get brittle
