Seems to be it - no VIN breaks for the housing but lots for the lens.

Only just. The adjusters and the arms attached thereto, as well as the
securing washers, are readily available and cheap - I keep a good few
in stock. The adjuster arms are prone to failure with the auxiliary
lighting harness attached, because of its weight.
But a whole new light is cheaper than both reflectors. The only really
good deal is a new lens.
