Headlight install question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

angelsairman · 03-24-2004, 02:09 AM

i tried to install my headlights back onto my radiator support on my 71 c10 since ive reapaired and painted it. Bought new clips that the screws go into from LMC and they are a little big and snap before i get them in, i noticed some note in there about a size. Anyone bought these from somewhere else and had good luck, any feedback on suppliers for these would be most apprecaited

i went to auto zone and in the help section got some lisence plate mounts, they are little white squares they snap right in and then you use your headlight adjuster screws, they screw right in

No AutoZone? What country are you in? Canada? What is the world coming to? Here in Mississippi, Checkers is a board game.

The dealer sells them for like 20 cents each. I use 73-87 style ones on my stuff.

I also got mine from LMC and they were too big for the stock holes. Found some that fit at Advance or Autozone, cant remember.
