Gentlemen

In the process of removing the headlight buckets on the 78 Eldorado (for
the long dreaded fender filler replacement job), I find I have at least two broken
plastic clips in the back of the buckets.  These are what the horizontal/vertical adjustment
screws are threaded into.  It appears the plastic is getting hard from age & I'd like to replace
ALL of them as long as I have them out of the car.

Does anyone have a source for these; or, does anyone make a "kit" to replace these
pices?

Thanks,  Mike

Dorman 42414 is the part number and make. Try your local NAPA or just google the above and see if anyone local has them. If not they are readily available. Always on ebay as well.

I went to my Chevy dealer in town. Ordered the GM ones.
The ones I bought on Ebay broke after a short time.
