should have placed clear packaging tape (with splints) over the outside or something to strengthen it up while I was handling it (I was cleaning the bulb sockets). I knew it was prone to handling breakage from previous posts here at TT.Net. Expensive lesson learned! I ordered the whole unit as I did not want to hassle with taking out the old light assembly and put it into the new plastic part (I can see another breakage happening!). I appreciate all of the comments. Regards, Jim
