Default Can I fix these lights

I need input on whether these tabs can be fixed on these T84 housings; my biggest concern is that one tab on headlight 1. I bought these from forum member Theradioflyer, who told me the lenses were 9.99/10. But, as you can see in these pics, these lights are not in that good of a condition:

I had no luck with trying to receive a refund (He wants me to send them back and then he'll decide whether to give me a refund) so I would rather try to use them than be totally out of my money. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bobby

A couple of those mounts look extremely bad. I would think Radioflyer would stand behind his sale.

Those are in really poor condition. I would opt for the refund ..after all, you bought headlight assemblies....not a puzzle.

I'll have bought and sold many parts here and every deal as went very good except this one
Paypal is a cash cow for ebay and I've not had any luck dealing with them
I going to keep these lights and repair the tabs I will post pics before I install them
I would recommend everyone to use caution when dealing with radioflyer
