Re: 2001 s40 headlight adjuster

2001 s40 headlight adjuster

Has anybody found a repair kit or the adjuster sold separately? both adjusters on the back side bottom of the lights are broken. Can't seem to find any online. Hate to think I have to buy 2 new assemblies? Any help would be appreciated.
thanks
