Default Headlights completely loose on '92 940 GL

The headlights on my '92 940 GL are completely loose and one points precariously to the ground. The mechanic that I use states that the "headlight adjusters" are missing or bad. I think he stated that I need between 4 and 6 of them at near $20 each.

Does this sound reasonable?

Thanks as always!

Well, these adjusters get broken when the lights get bumped which usually destroys the light since the adjusters rarely can be replaced. I don't even know who'd sell them a la carte... Pick n Pull type yards have these things available quite cheap if you have one in your area. BTW, I believe there are a total of four...

These are the single rectangular headlights? I bet your lenses aren't exactly clear anymore either... I'd just replace the whole assemblies. they bolt on from behind.

for example,
Volvo Headlight Assembly Right (740 940) URO Parts 1369604 | FCP Euro
Volvo Headlight Assembly Left (740 940) URO Parts | FCP Euro

the real volvo ones are over $300 each, but the $150 aftermarket ones seem just fine to me. nothing like a set of new lights to spiff up the looks of an older car. if your turn signals are faded, i'd consider replacing them too.

Thanks. They are most certainly not clear. At that price though, I may have to do one at a time.

They are slightly cheaper on eBay.
