Headlight adjusters...

Had a search for topics about these on the forum, but came up with nothing other than the fact that they're difficult to get hold of. I basically need a full set for the nearside front lamps - they look pretty much like bolts with a white plastic collar, and I think they're the adjusters as opposed to the ones that hold the panel to the car (those are just screws on mine and seem intact).
Anyone got a part number or a link to a shop who can help me out? How many will I need for spot and main lamp together?

Pretty sure it's four per lamp (one at each corner).

Thanks for this guys - the part number is indeed the one I want, so I've ordered six. Nicely.

Can confirm they are discontinued, got some from VW about 2 years ago but can't get them now.
I just ordered 94333 from GSF, think this is the right one.
The problem is still trying to replace the adjuster screws and mounts that fix to the mounting plate, holding the lights to the car.
I've got a set of old lights to try and remove these bits from, hoping to replace the front clips with the GSF 94333 ones.
Anyone got a good way to remove them from the light cluster without breaking? They look like they twist off, but are held in a recess which is very stiff!
Tried warm water, but cant get them to move.
