H4 round Headlamp problem

Hi,
I've been busy today installing an inline blower fan into the heater pipes on my 2.0 air cooled, all finished now and really pleased.
Only trouble is, when I removed the front grill the drivers side headlamp lens came off with it.
So I am wondering is there a way of simply gluing it back on the the reflector? Or do I need a new complete unit?
If I need a new unit is it worth getting both lamps? or maybe upgrading to something like the clear aftermarket ones in golfs?
Cheers,
Ben

I used hight temp silicone sealant to stick mine back on the first time then a while after the pass side came off that went on with grip fill adhesive!!!!

Yup - silicon sealant. Fish tank stuff is the best and available in small tubes in pet shops. The silicon acquatic pipe is also a good replacement for washer jet hose too so thats at least two T25 bits you can get in a pet shop - no three - theres the plastic T-junctions that you find in many VW engine bays.

Cheers for the replies guys,
I hadn't realised how expensive headlamps can be, I have gone for an clear exterior sealant, that I already had open. Fingers crossed it'll last.

Unbelievable, I was just putting the front grill back on and the other headlight lens fell off too! Luckily it didn't break.
