No worries. We all start somewhere.

What are you referring to when you say an "assembled headlight"? Is your shell missing the entire pop-up "bucket" assemblies? Or are you just looking to replace the light bulbs inside the housings? Post some pictures and indicate what you'd like to install or replace.

From the factory these cars came with sealed beam headlights that can be easily replaced for $10 per side. A lot of people like to update their lights to the more modern "H4" style which will allow you to run a standard H4 headlight bulb. These H4 housings are a little more pricey but they open up lots of bulb options. Either way, both options plug right up.
