HEADLIGHTS won't stay open! HELP!
Hi Guys, I have a 89 and the headlights won't stay open, this happened a few times over the last few years and would then be ok, but lately now has been doing it often and I had to duct tape them open twice, and the lights bouce around that way, besides duct tape should have no place on a Corvette, right? ;-).
Normally I'd drive my truck at night but it's down with a bad head gasket, great timing. So I have to fix these headlights FAST!
I think it is the bushings i have read about, I need to get these fast and am in Ventura County CA, so if anyone knows a place nearby that has them, that would really help.
I don't want to order by mail and have $10 in parts overnighted for $25!
Even better still if anyone can give me the dimensions of the bushings and suggest some materials to use, i can easlily make some or may even have something right or close enough to modify, I got tons of crap in the garage the Mrs. always asks why i keep, it would be good to put something to use and say, "see, why I keep this stuff" :-)
Thanks guys! Ok to email at billwineberg@aol.com
