How badly is the lamp damaged?

If the internals and if the reflector of the Saleen HID survived impact. Purchase a OE Ford lamp, bake the lamp to separate the clear part from the black housing, then transfer the Saleen HID assembly into the new housing. Seal clear part and black housing, install onto vehicle.

Im looking at that as a potential fix now...but i have 3 issues.
1. The clear lens cover is broken.
2. It pushed the housing back enough that it
broke a support beam through the rear of the cover.
3. In wiping out the deer hair and not using any solvent
or cleaner, i wiped off some of the chrome reflective coating. Dang it comes off super easy!

I have a spare stock headlight and can attempt to
swap out the lens.
I dremeled the support break to make clean edges and
I pushed it back into place. I can glue it so that should be fine.
I feel the headlamp will still function even with a
portion if the reflective coating removed.

Soooo while a fix is an option
I would prefer to find one without damage.

In the intrim i will attempt the fix.
