Default Need C5 General help!

Alright guys, I need your help with this!

I NEED the bolts that go thru the holes (marked by the arrows) that attach the headlight actuators to the the brackets. GM has them on backorder. Anyone who has replaced their factory headlights to non pop ups may have these bolts. I need 6 of these for both sides and need them overnighted to me. Please PM me with the shipping address if you can help me with this!


Who could help me with this?

I have non-pops. I'll look through my boxes of parts to see if I have those bolts when I get home from work tonight and let you know.

Any chance of a suitable substitute - like measurements from an original bolt and pick them up at a local hardware store?

Best of luck.

I so wish I still had my pop ups. Gave them away to an azzhat here for free and he turned around and sold them on Ebay after a week.

Do not worry, WE will get this sorted out

Anybody got a pic of theses bolts installed in the actuator? I sold my lights too, but I may have these bolts laying around. A pic would help.
