Default headlight hardware online source

My wife met a deer the other morning with my 90 xj. He took out the passenger headlight, turn signal, and marker light. No junk yards in my area that let me in the yard to get screws have any xj's with intact pass lights. My google skills have failed me, I can find all the lights and lenses online but no screws. I would rather not take apart the driver side in the hardware store parking lot (I lose important things when I do that.) Any leads or ideas?
