installing new fog lights

well the glass piece that covers the bulb fell out, so i decided to buy new fog lights.

when i looked at the setup, there we 2 little bars on each side i screw into the ends of the fog light to hold it in place, im missing them on one side thats why they fell out.

what do i need to replace these?

Are these factory lights? Seems like the factory lights have a metal ring around the lens. The aftermarket lights have a plastic bar on each side with a screw in the center. Those lights are not expensive to buy the whole set.

One of the foglights on my 85 went out, and yeah, mine have two plastic bars holding them on, and then found out the piece that the piece to adjust the light up and down was broken off. So if they're aftermarket, where would one look to find the whole assembly?
