Hi All!
I am brand new to this site, had a minor dilemma I was wondering if anyone could help me with. I have a 2004 Landrover Freelander. I had broken the top mounting brackets to the housing, so I had to buy a complete brand new housing to replace it. I am trying to do this myself, and figured it could not be that difficult. However, I cannot figure out where the mounts on the bottom of the housing are attached, or by what kind of fastener. Does anyone know where I might be able to find some sort of maintenance standard or instruction with diagram that I could use for this?

Thank you for your time
