As the title states, what's the whole deal with the our headlights and broken tabs?

I'm looking into buying an extra set and I see good deals on headlights with broken tabs
My question here is can I mount these headlights with broken tabs and still have them well secured? Or can the only bottom or top be broken and still be secured.
Let me know what you guys have done or if there is any other way to make the headlight fit good and secured.

Thanks

my bottom tabs are broken so my tops tabs are the only ones holding them in place. They seem secure enough for now, they have been that way for the past 3,000 miles with no shift in light output.

The ones that I'm looking at are the opposite as yours one has the bottom tab only but I wonder how secured they really are
