Default Headlight Cover Adjustment Standoffs

Recently reinstalled my popup headlights and when I was reinstalling I noticed that some of the adjustable standoffs on the headlights that the headlight covers sit on were broken, thus making the headlight not quite match the contour of the hood. I looked everywhere I could think of online but could only find the entire assembly (which I can only assume comes with the standoffs). Does anyone know where I can get some of the standoffs by themselves, or perhaps a different part/item that would work as a substitute?

Thanks

That's ridiculous to fix one or two small standoffs! Anyone got any more information? I'd rather not drop $100 for a couple pieces of plastic the size of my finger.

If they are just like really thick plastic washers, they are probably available from a hardware store...
