Don't think they'll work due to the HID bulbs being larger thank standard halogen bulbs. Normally you'd just have to switch the bulb size, not sure if you can do that while running OEM HID.

Your post is hard to understand. The Headlight bulb mount is broken or the headlight assembly mount is broken?
