Headlight Question

I have various headlight parts from 2-3 trucks, but ZERO springs and adjusters! Question - how many of each do I need on each headlight?

Re: Headlight Question

I'm pretty sure one spring and two adjusters. Now you are going to make me walk clear out there to the truck to make sure.

Re: Headlight Question

Checked and yes two adjuster screws, one at the top and one on a side and the spring opposite the one on the side. Years ago I made a hook to pull those springs out of a piece of welding rod. An O ring pick works pretty good though.
