Default Can you repair a headlight assembly?

I just bought a wrecked '02 Camaro SS. It had a set of halo's in it, but a piece about 2" long and 1" wide was broken out of the bottom of the driver's side assembly. Can this be repaired as I don't want to have to buy another one.

Thanks in advance.

Is it a 2" hole or cracked? if its a crack id just smear some RTV sealant on it, i did mine that way. if its a hole you may try fiberglassing it and RTV sealing it.

Default switch it out

Find a junk yard headlight and heat in the oven and transfer the halo stuff into the junk yard housing Take less then 1/2 an hour guy and the halo headlights come apart really easy when compared to a GM headlight!I did it with both of my halo lights because the rubbers and housings sucked !!So i bought a practicaly brand new set of GM headlights and put the halo black incert right into the bought Gms Worked like a charm and fits like one too now!!
