Default Unfortunately, no. =( Those are the upper tab kits.

This is the lower peg underneath the headlight, it inserts itself inside a hole on the car itself near the bumper.

Default I repaired one of those with some simple parts from the hardware store.

I can probably take some pictures of what I used if you are interested.

Default That would be helpful I'd assume. I know I'm limited to more of a home-made

solution to this, any ideas would be great.

Default dude i did the same thing, i mean is it really a big deal? it has a little bit of play in the

housing, only you will know. i did that like 3 months ago while screwing it back in (those 3 torx screws) and, like an idiot, didn't have that post in the housing. but, other than my own angst i haven't experienced any problems. and don't you have euros? you could at least saw the post off of one of your stock lights and affix it sturdily to the bottom of your euro housing, although that might be prone to breakage over time, vibration etc. sorry i shouldn't post at this hour just tryin to help. bodywork looks unworldly
