Headlight Cluster Broken Securing Bracket Repair
I expect a few of us have seen this:
Well it can be fixed; and Audi even designed fixing it into the original design! You will need these: You get 2 in a kit. The part number is 4D0 998 121 Repair Kit. To do this you'll need to remove the cluster and when you do you'll find that there is a hole specially placed for this repair. Just screw in the replacement bracket and slip in the captured nut and Roberto is related to your mother!

I need these too. Crazy to think someone or someone’s had sat and thought it out enough that they designed in a repair procedure, obviously they could have just designed it so it didn’t brake but it would have left them with a huge pile of redundant repair kits I suppose
