I feel for you. That's the sort of thing that would happen to me. Plastic will be brittle this time of year. If it's any consolation the light output looks a lot better.

Yes it looks a lot better even though I’ll never see it... hopefully the contract adhesive will dry solid and a bit of black gloss paint should do it.... Β£120 on eBay for a lens.. hmmmmmm think I’ll leave it see how it sets first... πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ»πŸ˜€

Thanks to the info in this thread I’ve changed mine to led today. I got as far as pulling the light out but, as @stevek1909 says earlier, it seemed stuck. It turns out there’s a ball-and-socket type clip, pic attached. That’s the left side light, and you can see the socket at the top left. Hopefully this helps the next guy too πŸ™‚

Thanks for the heads up re taking out the inner light cluster, big help to me... changed the reverse bulbs todayto LED. Light unit looks expensive to relace!
