Joy,

There are three fastening points for each headlight.  Two are
adjustable, one is fixed.  They consist of a metal screw with a
plastic piece at each end.  The plastic gets brittle with age and self
destructs.

The headlight from Ron is only the glass piece, no bulb, no adjusters.

So - I have a set of headlights, with recent all new adjusters.  No
cracks in the bulbs.  They are already aligned, and are both the low
and high beams.  These are the bulbs in Sylvia right now, I have some
e-code headlights I'm going to put in.  Send me your address, I'll
pack 'em up and send them - but hey, you have to pay the postage, I'm
not letting you get off scott free!

Or you can get the e-codes, but those are $300 (inner and outer
headlights, already mounted)...but the stock lights are cheaper, if
not as bright - like me!  If you come down here, I'll even help you
install them...
