In trying to get an idea of weather this is fixable.
Are you talking about the one with the lens in this picture or the outside one?

If so thats all held together with plastic snap assembly. this is a back side pic. What you see is the angel eye, then a lens that fits into the angel eye followed by the blue diffusor. It all snaps together at the bottom

Maybe if you pulled the headlight assembly out of the car then removed the bulb for this lens - you could push the assembly back in place with say a wooden dowel. Sounds like a really good excuse to install some AE's! If the clips that hold the assembly are broken you could get another from an ebay junker. Thats what this pic is of. course you would have to cut it open to replace it but even doing the AE install its still much cheaper than a new headlight.
