Headlight bezel
The headlight bezel is loose and missing the two upper screws (hence being loose) I don't see what the little screws (2) go into. Is there a clip? 72 Coupe

Clip goes over this area at the rear (hole towards the left of the pic)
If it's actually the Upper two screws (pic is upside down here) the screws thread into those two holes above the lights (bottom here)

It's the holes on the upside down pic. I looked at one, and I am assuming now that they are broken off because there is no hole there. I think I could drill them out and replace no problem, but my first look was,..something is missing.
Another question if you don't mind,...if you know. I am ordering an interior part and I am being ask light saddle tan or dark saddle tan. My interior trim plate code just has "417" saddle. Looks kinda darkish to me, but I didn't know there would be a choice. It is vinyl not leather, so maybe one is if leather (dark or light) vs the vinyl.

You may want to look at a few of these for the broken screw problem

For your other question.... It depends.
You really need to add the year of your car to your profile, rough location wouldn't hurt anyone either.
For a 72, saddle is dark, for 73 up through 76 (maybe it was 75) or so saddle was medium

72 coupe, well I like that now don't I...
saddle S/B dark for you then
(change your info using the "User CP" menu, left side of the red-ish stripe near the top of the page, then "edit your details". Just makes it easier for someone to help when they know the details. Also the location, you never know who might live just down the road...)

True,...I did change it...
There many small things to take care of on the car but I just couldn't pass this numbers matching, 42K mile car up. It does need a repaint.
