Tyler; I have several of those round bucket headlights. I also have a grill if you need one. Do you just want to borrow a bucket to get you through? Do you want to buy a pair? Do you want to buy a grill?

Also your dent looks like a piece of cake to fix. You can get a harbor freight slide puller, drill it pull it and Bondo it you be surprised how easy that is.
