Car: Suzuki Alto GL, 1.0 L, 2006 reg.
Hi, my car has failed the MOT because the nearside light is loose. Ive tightened the top bolt onto the bonnet, but its missing a piece of plastic on the bottom where the bottom bolt fits into and through to the car.
The thing is this is a replacement light i purchased as the one i had before was broken from the top too.
The guy said it might move about when the car goes over a bump or something.
My question is, can i use a sillicone sealant or something similar to glue the light to the bottom part of where it touches the car? If so, is this a good fit:

Cheers for the help guys (Y),
More info:
Suzuki Alto headlights are INCREDIBLE hard to find, and the one replacement i found in Barnet, the mechanic struggled to remove the headlight, so she removed it by breaking it slightly at the bottom, so the bit of the headlight where the bolt is attached is still stuck to the car.
I had the same problem on my Alto, it was IMPOSSIBLE to remove the bottom bolt off the boken headlight so i ripped it off, still leaving the plastic intact.
The MOT guy said as long as the light is secured he doesnt care about the missing nut.
