Corner Marker Bracket

[cafeevil]

Does anyone have an idea on how to fix this? The body shop replaced my front bumper after my car was backed into. They broke off a plastic piece as you can see in the pictures, so is there anything I can fix to make my corner light stay in place? My corner light is not staying in place, I can just pull it out with my hands. I know there is a nut to take off, but, I can just pull the light out without taking the nut off. Instead of taking it back to the shop, which they said to do, I would rather fix it myself instead of waiting how long for them. Can the whole bracket be taken out and replaced with one from another car?

I don't even know what to look at in the pictures.

Umm, you are looking at the broken plastic piece, where my corner light is removed. Look at the top picture, do you see that it is broken?

How difficult would it be to take one off from a junkyard car, and replace it with the one on my car? Can this be done myself?

Ya. You have to remove the bumper. You can do it in about a hour and a half

its basically plastic, isn't a main mounting point and isn't under any stress(as if some tab snapped into place through it) - Why not make another and glue it into place? Might need a gusset in the back to support it but a little CA glue and kicker, some scrap plastic and a drill/saw you should be able to make one and glue it in place right behind the part that is left and hold it in place just fine.
