You can purchase those tabs that the headlight rim is screwd to....I think. I'm almost sure I have a new I bought somewhere out in the shop.
Big Tee, there are some springs on the back of the headlight rim and the one at the top of the headlight rim fits down into a slot on the top of the headlight bucket........ I'm sure you know this but just in case you didn't. Good luck.
Here you go. Bottom of the page. $4.50 each
