Default Help: Headlight motor re-assembly and I think I'm missing parts

For some reason, my shop removed the entire headlight assemblies when they painted my bumper cover, header panel & headlight panels. Now, I'm having some fun getting it all back together.

First, does someone have a picture of where each of the arms should be on the headlight motor side? I realize that I may have to adjust a bit but for the life of me, I can't remember how this was mounted. A picture would be worth a thousand words in getting this on properly to start with.

Also, I think I'm missing a piece on the driver's side...I think we've lost the lever & spring that attaches to the headlight itself. Neither I nor the body shop can find it. Anyone have one laying around that they could part with?

Thanks much,

Rick

Not quite...I was looking for the correct arm position when it's mounted to the motor in the car.

Also, still trying to locate a pivot arm/spring for the driver's side.

Lastly...how is the spring supposed to be set? Is it supposed to have tension when the headlight is open or closed? I can't find a diagram explaining how it's supposed to be put in.

Thanks much,

Rick

with the headlights turned off- motor in off position, you can put the headlights down and put the arm onto the motor. Springs should hold the lights down.
