I lowered my car (now the front is lower than the back) and drove at night for the first time just now, and noticed the lights were pointing down. I'll have to adjust my lights.

Does anyone know the part number or where to find more of the circled clips ?
Been meaning to do this for a while now.
We're finally getting some warm temps so I figured do it today.
In the later models (mine is a 2012 sedan), the core support arrangement is similar, but different - also, the lamps are different too because the fog lights are now part of the lower bumper, not part of the main lamp assembly.
With a good flashlight, I was able to locate the adjusting holes and used a make shift screwdriver (several 1/4" extensions + philips bit) to reach down in there. It does take quite a few rotations to get any noticeable movement. I just used my garage wall as a reference and raised both sides slightly. Will drive tonight to confirm if it's good or if I need to raise/lower more.
My question is this; those plastic rivets holding down the weather stripping would just not release. Ended up breaking both on one side. Later realized they don't really need to come off to gain access.
Where do I get these replacement rivets without paying an arm and a leg?
