Ok, so awhile back my drivers side headlight started going down and then popping back up when shut off. I would have to get out and manually lower it by hand. After asking some ppl on here, one person said it was probably the tabs that were shot and would have to be replaced. After reading that I went out and checked to see if this was the problem. Sure enough, one of the tabs on the inside was shot. To make sure that was the problem I took one off my other headlight(that was in good condition), and put it on the broken one. Turned off the headlights, and it worked perfect. Well, I had to put the good one back on the side it was supposed to be on, and now I have checked all the local cheverolet dealerships, and no ne of them can find the tabs in thier system. Does anyone have a part # for these. I even took the old tab in, had him breakdown the entire headlight assembly on the computer, and they just cant seem to find where the tabs are in the system to order. Does anyone A.) know a way or part # that can help me get these guys to find them, B.) have any extra tabs that you would be willing to sell?

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks ahead of time guys
