BRZ OEM headlights with broken tabs question

I’ve been shopping for some used 2017+ OEM BRZ headlights but most of them have broken tabs on eBay and they don’t include the broken tab piece. So it’d require fabricating a fab somehow.

I’m not familiar with what the headlight looks like when removed. Are the tabs located on a separate piece of plastic that can be replaced? I’m hoping I can pick up some broken tabs headlights then buy a new headlight retainer or piece that has the tabs as an easy fix for it.

No, they are apart of the headlight housing.

You can make and repair broken plastic tabs but, there goes any cost savings you had in mind. Youtube plastic tab repair and see if it is something you would like to take on.
