They dont, one end attaches to the headlight door, the other is a stop, used for upward motion adjustment

If I remember rightly the adjuster just bangs up against the underside of the headlight frame that bolts to the body...thus controlling upward movement.

I believe that sometimes there is a rubber bumper on the non-threaded end of the stud which cuts down on the 'bang' when the doors open.

I remember when I first took my head light assembly apart, I started unbolting those "stopper brackets" and they fell to the ground.

I though some idiot forgot half the bolts on the other end....turns out I was the idiot. I figured it out pretty quickly though.

Yep, rubber bumper on top of the stop adjustment screw. Only place I've seen the bumper is in the Doc Rebuild catalog.
