Drooping Headlight

Hello, I have a drooping headlight on my 2006 Jaguar S Type R. I remember seeing a remedy on how to fix the problem, cant seem to find it.
Thank You...

Even if I get ATTACKED AGAIN for lobbying AGAINST that Brutal fix, where you force a screw thru the headlight from the front and thus damaging those expensive and no longer available headlights...:
Here is how to do it properly, without scrapping your headlights:

Peter is correct, please don't screw anything through the headlight lens.
The internal mounts are broken so the light needs to come apart for these to be repaired.
Note well that the chrome plating will deteriorate upon touch, depending on how much UV damage has been done to the lights.

I can attack the manufacturer, Hella as much as I want but the fact is that no plastic headlight was designed to last.
