Default Headlight help.

Second post of the day, I'm unbelieveably fustrated.

Bought new headlight assemblies for both left and right side today. Looking them over, left side seems good but of course.. the right side comes broken. I've been running basically without headlights for a month and a half and im angry since I can't find any aftermarkets.

Someone tell me if I should just attempt this repair myself or if someone has an already upgraded pair they're willing to sell please let me know, and thank you for reading.

Default Headlight rebuild

I bought a pair of headlight assemblies for cheap. I knew the adjusters were broken. I bought the adjuster kit. I then disassembled both lights, replaced the adjusters, (leveling motors were working), and polished the lens. Look like new.
I replaced the original lights with the rebuilt. Took me two days, start to finish
Of note, I rebuilt the original lights and sold them on eBay

If you mean by "broken" that the headlight level adjuster is broken...:
Yes, of course it is broken - they'll all break, unless they have been fixed already.
Here is my repair guide for the S-Type - X-Type headlight are probably very similar:
