Unhappy Headlight arm bushings (hit a deer)

Hey guys, I tried searching around and couldn't find anything about the bushings that goes in the arm that raises and lowers the headlights (except 1st gen). A few weeks ago I hit a deer on my way to work. The headlight took most of the hit, needless to say those plastic bushings were trashed. I bought a new headlight from a junkyard on line and asked them to please send the arm also and they said OK but they didn’t

Anyway does anybody know where I can buy those bushings or the whole arm? Is there some sort of fix I can do? I tried some rubber grommets but that didn’t work.

Pics of the damage.

Thanks

If you don't find it easily, I think mazdatrix have this part, but it won't be cheap.

I thought about calling the game warden and trying to keep it but I thought I'd probably get it put on my driving record as an accident and my insurance would go up.

I wouldn’t mind having that recipe though lol

They have them for $18.84 (the rod and bushings). I'll wait and see what Landon says before I order.
