More headlight problems. Any quick fix for broken headlight tabs?

Serious noob alert here!

OK - got them wired and went to install - only to discover 3 out of 4 mounting tabs are broken. Any quick fix so that the lights will stay in place and I can drive at night until I can get a repair kit?

Or should I just tape them in place?

Thanks for all your help!

I know I'll have to get a kit - I just was wondering if there's a quick fix until then.

Kinda screwed as I need to drive the car until I can get a kit - and I don't want the lights falling out until then!

Yes - I found that link.

Already scoped the part numbers. As it's Saturday night (here) now - I won't be able to get the repair kit until Monday or Tuesday - so was just looking to make sure I don't lose my lights on the road in the meantime!

This is why I always had my mechanic do all the work on my car - but learning and doing it yourself is much cheaper and satisfying in the end!

Thanks for your help - you've been a real gent.
