Where is the best place to get that bronze gear for my headlights. I need it quickly!
Just got that horrible noise when I turned off my headlights!

talon is correct. I purchased from Mr. Dickman this past July. I ordered mine on a Sun. and received them on Tues. He includes excellent instructions also. Bruce

Just did mine this week - got the kit from Rodney Dickman too.

My hands and forearms are still scabbing over..... It's actually easy once you have the headlight assembly out - but getting the two bolts on the side into the frame and the three on the back mounted to the fender is like sticking your hands into a meat grinder! (I guess my hands and forearms are too fat for this job.... )

Good luck - and replace both of them even if it's only one acting up!

If you put the car up on ramps you can remove a lower cover that gives you plenty of access to get to all of the bolts. It makes it alot easier than trying to get your arm in under the headlight.
