There are just (3) little holes ready for headlight covers.  They could be easily filled it.

I agree. The holes are nothing! If they pose a problem then you probably need a professional...

I'm not sure why my wants are being questioned. No holes, no cracks and good bolts. 

If I wanted to fix something, I would fix mine.

There was a pair just on Ebay for 2 weeks that were what you are looking for but sold.

Sometimes you have to buy a pair to get what you want. 

A single of the side you want that needs no repair are very hard to find. Very lucky if you do find one.

Here you go, dude.

Edit:  Whoops, just after I posted this I noticed the bolts were missing.  Sorry.

Here's another set, but man they are pricey!

Your wants are not being questioned but good FRP buckets are hard to find.  As these cars get older and the parts become more rare it is important that you consider all options to make it possible to keep these cars up and on the road. Also minor repairs on headlight buckets gives you a lot more options for viable candidates. I understand no cracks because it can be hard to make an effectual repair. Studs and holes are a lot easier and make a replacement much more affordable and easier to find...
