I did exactly the same thing last weekend. I broke the upper right adjuster on the drivers headlamp.

The part number is 255-941-141-C and the price was $5.82 plus tax. It took my local VW dealer 3 days to get it.

It took all of 10 minutes to replace. Remove the old one and adjust the setting on the new one to match it and you shouldn't even have to re-aim your headlight.

Good luck
