Headlight assembly pic needed

Well this is a tad embarrassing... but a year ago I removed everything from the engine bay of my 79 for paint.
Now that it’s back I’m having trouble reassembling the headlights.
I need a pic of the motor attached to the bucket. Maybe the motor itself too, I disassembled this to clean and put in new bushings.

I'll try to get some picture here in a bit after the rain. Otherwise, I'm just down the road.

That happens to me sometimes too, right click on the thumbnail and choose open in a new tab and the photos will show.

Damn it! I'm sorry I completely forgot all about this. Once I get out of this meeting I'll get a few shots.

@mwpayne If you need more. I can take more, we can meet up, or figure out a video chat solution. I think the only thing I have that does video chat is whatever google provides and snapchat though.

Here’s where I’m at guys. I have the headlight motors installed. Can’t figure out how the headlights themselves install. I’m thinking I’ve got a bracket or something missing. Pics show what I have.
Something stupid I’m overlooking I bet..

the headlight pictured goes on the driver side. the mechanism pushes the light up from the bottom, and that hook shape follows the hood line around it. being as these r specific to it L & R, the bracket should have something stamped or embossed to designate this.
