I'm not too certain on the availability of the small lens, but I can tell you a disassembly will not be an easy task. It involves heating up the adhesive that prevents moisture buildup inside the housing. This adhesive runs the entire perimeter of the lens. Here's an idea of the kind of project you'll have on your hands should you decide to disassemble your headlight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnT9ci8i5PkI purchased a 2013 Cruze LT 2 weeks ago from Hertz and just noticed that the mounting post on the lens in front of the left amber bulb is broken and the lens has fallen to the bottom of the headlight module. The vehicle is post-bumper to bumper warranty.
There does not appear to be any easy way to resolve this short of disassembly. Does anyone know if the headlight module can be disassembled and if a replacement lens is available?
Thanks in advance for your help

Have you compared the light output of the left and right headlight? Turn on your marker lights and hazards and see if there's much of a difference. I am willing to bet the difference won't be very noticeable and wouldn't make the repair worthwhile. The lens itself I can't imagine would do any damage sitting at the bottom of the housing and I don't think it'll be small enough to pull it out through the hole the bulb fits in.
