Default Cheap headlight buckets?

Ordered the proline toyota 1985 hilux body for my enduro and I have a spare set of lights I got off ebay a while ago. Does anyone know where I can find just the buckets to shoe goo into the body to attach the LEDs? I can't seem to find any that aren't part of a full kit like the proline universal light kit, and I only need buckets.
Thanks.

Thanks but I'm looking for just the plastic buckets that glue in behind the clear body. Like the ones included in the proline kit for example, but just the buckets. Not interested in staying scale, function over fashion in this case and I'm on a strict budget atm or I would just get the full PL kit.

You can use Mini Mag light reflectors for the headlights. Not too expensive.

Dollar Store flashlights can also yield decent reflectors. Some hardware stores and convenience stores, have small, single cell flashlights that can work for headlights. Tail lights may need a little more work to find something that can work. Fabricating out of styrene is quite easy also.
Well crap...I just realized you picked up the 85 body, square headlights, doh!
The Tamiya Jeep Wrangler headlights might work for that. Sorry for the confusion.
