Default Whats that headlight part called?

The ones that look like big plastic popsicle sticks and theres 2 on each headlight housing that hold the light in place? Well im missing one on each of mine and i think that is why i cannot adjust my beam focus / height / distance.

My light at night suck. on low they are right in front of me and i cant see a thing. On high beam which i have to drive on all the time they are not even as good as normal low beam should be. I never get flashed for hacing high beams on.

Anyways I want to find what those parts are named so i can get some of them and maybe fix my headlight pointing. I have a 2001 v6 btw.

Well these things are $6.50 each from the dealer. Which actually is a fair price and better than some online. I think tomorrow I'll call the local junk yards and see if they have any new edge Mustangs on the lot.

What do you all reckon are the years this part would be on a Mustang? Im guessing they are new edge only. What years is that? 1999 - 2004?

Picked up my parts and stuck them in right there in the parts area. Grabbed my screwdriver and raised them about 3 inches against their wall. I have no idea where they are pointing now though. gotta wait till dark and go check them. I have a hilly drive way so I had to park facing down the hill so I hope that helps.
