Default '69 compatible popup headlights?

Hi,
I tried searching but couldn't find any info.. sorry if this is a common post.

I have a '69 convertible, but the previous owner changed to fixed headlights. I want to put the popups back in. Can anyone tell me what years are compatible with the '69? What is a fair price? What should I look out for?

If anyone wants to swap for the fixed ones, that'd be cool

There are some minor differences, but they are essentially the same 68-74. There may have been a support change in 73-74. I dont have my parts book available and I dont remember for sure. When the bumper changed in 75 there was a change in the support, but other parts are essentially the same. So they will all work, but the supports are diffenent and would have to be changed to the early style.

Any idea if the 76 lights are useable? I think I can get a hold of a set of those...
