Default My first broken piece

Well today I was under my hood just giving my engine a wipe down when I noticed my headlights were loose.....upon further inspection I noticed that the piece of plastic that connects the headlight casing to the engine was completely broken on both headlights.......

anyone ever have this happen to them? I'm totally bummed about it

The only thing i can think of would be the hood coming down to hard.....but i thought thats why the bumpers are there. I dont even slam my hood down.....I'll post some pics in case you guys cant visualize the area.

I feel betterknowing im not the only one this has happened to......Thanks guys...I'm off to the dealer tomorrow to get it repaired. I'm also going to buy some Redline elite shocks so i can get rid of my prop rod....and hopefully it will ease the stress on the light brackets from closing my hood. Any complaints on the Redline shocks? or any of the other brands? What do you guys have?

I never seen the redlines in person, but just had the chance to help a friend get his cdc struts adjusted, and i like those alot. they leave more room on the sides. Meaning not in your way when leaning over the hood. Just cleaner I guess
