Be wary when replacing those rods. There's a reason they broke in the first place and if that is not repaired, the new ones will suffer the same result. After replacing them in my car twice, I gave...

Headlight mounting bracket

Think I might have broke my headlight mounting bracket where the plug is at, or perhaps the locking clip or perhaps I just don't know how to lock it.
