Fell off and smashed, or just fell off and you still have it?

If you've still got the intact lens, then it's a simple case of bathroom silly-cone sealant to put the two bits back together.
this might be a signature

Unless there is another member somewhere close to you, your best bet is probably eBay! Brand new headlamps can be picked up on the Bay for around £10-15. You may get one from your local branch of GSF, although the Easter holiday may make things a tad difficult before Tuesday.
(IIRC, GSF have a BIG branch in Brum, close to Castle Dunlop, just off Jct 5 of the M6)

Good luck.
