Thumbs up @#$&* Vandalism! (headlight fixed thanks to Rennlist)

So, Tuesday morning on my way to lunch, I notice that one of my headlights is sunk farther into the fender than the other. Oddly enough, there is a muddy footprint on the fender and on the headlight, and even odder, the whole thing is loose and flops around. Some pathetic excuse for a human being apparently kicked the light and broke off the U-bracket and some other assorted pieces. I can't thank him enough for the time and money this is undoubtedly going to cost.
Anyone have some headlight parts for sale? I need the U-shaped bracket in the pictures below, and some help identifying what else is broken.

I believe the small yellowed plastic parts are the US model "filler" pieces for the absent headlight adjusting mechanism. They don't appear to be listed in PET. Are these absolutely necessary, or can I get away without them? It's too stinking cold outside to take the other side apart and try and compare right now, but I should be able to tomorrow.
I would greatly appreciate any insight from those who have disassembled or worked on their headlight system. I hope everyone has a lovely weekend, and doesn't have to deal with any crap like this.

I think I have a spare set that you can have for the cost of packing and shipping.

Thumbs up Follow up -

Just a quick follow up to this thread: Randy V is a badass, and sent me all the parts I need to fix my headlight assembly for the cost of shipping. Thanks to everyone else for their offers as well.

Dude,

Randy was the reason I joined rennlist believe it or not.

I saw him also help out another rennlister a year or so back and thought his contribution was kick *** and it inspired me to pitch for a membership.
