Default Suicidal bird vs. IS-F

Just washed her up yesterday for a beach trip with the wife. Coming to eat dinner with family and a bird decided to walk across the highway instead of fly. Then he decided not to move when I came closer. Here we are now with a fog light knocked out with a broken tab. Luckily the actual light didn't break, but the light is gonna have to flop around inside until I get home.
Even if I had the tools I need I can't attach the light because of the tab the broke off of the light, and two missing screws.

Hopefully not much damaged and it's easily fixable
Came in here thinking a bird was stuck in your grill or something

They are the LED's. Replaced them last year. I'm hoping I can get just the part that broke and not the whole light

Ouch, I hope you can find a solution. I think only the head lights have replacement tabs.

He had already upgraded to LED fog lights, I don't think he will turn back to halogen now
