Default Headlight bolts 2001 TA

Broke a torx bolt that the headlight swivels on while fixing the damn motor for the second time ! This is the inch bolt that allows the headlight to pop up down, about a half inch of thread, the other half is widened like a dowel. Unable to find it anywhere, so I go to talk to the dealer and will only sell the whole headlight assembly. Which is a load of I'm not paying $90 for a bolt!! Anyone have any recommendations on finding one?

Is it an aiming adjustment screw? Not sure what you are talking about. I've had to replace the headlight motor and don't see how you could break a screw or whatever.

Post some pics of it maybe.

Not the adjustment bolts. These are two bolts in the back of the headlight housing itself. These two bolt and the arm attaching it to the motor are the only things that attach the headlights to the body. And I was in a hurry due to rain and overtightened it, snapped the nut with half bolt in right off.
