I've noticed that whenever I drive at night the passenger side headlight seems to jiggle around in accordance with bumps and other anomalies in the road surface. Since I'm not in the car much at night, I never really think about it much other than "well, that's kind of annoying." Today I got the wild hair to take a look, and found that there appears to be a bracket that is totally missing from my car.

Trouble is, I have no idea what it's called, and hence what I should search for. Ideas?

I will try and illustrate what's missing by taking a picture of the driver's side, which is fully intact. It's a 90-degree steel bracket held to the underside of the hood with a nut that goes onto the threaded stud that's affixed to the underside of the hood. (The stud is there). It affixes to another bracket on the hood by way of a nut and bolt. Here's the pic, which you can click on to enlarge:

You can help me! I know it!
