Default Headlight replacement

Hit a deer at about 10 mph would've been fine during the day but because it was at night the deer broke my passenger side headlight clean off. The motor and crank arm are still attached. But rest of headlight broke off i have been looking at headlight assemblies and am looking at http://m.ebay.com/itm/93-97-Trans-Am-Firebird-Headlight-Assembly-RH-Passenger-w-Motor-Tested-/282229169459?nav=SEARCHIs this all that I would need to buy? Or is there more separate parts that I'd need to buy? I can't seem to find a diagram of the headlight anywhere online

It looks complete, the only thing I don't see is the bolts and plastic bushing that hinge the headlight up and down.

That part may still be attached on the car. Is there any picture or diagram to show me what bushing you're talking about? There is a bolt at the top towards the side marker side that is still there. The plastic just broke around it

I'm sorry I don't have a picture or diagram, but if you remove the bolt thats already there and take away the broken bracket and replace it with the new bracket and replace old bolt.

Looks complete. Where was yours broken off at? The pivots are in a metal bracket that is then riveted to the fiberglass header panel, which is very prone to breaking in collisions.
