Default C5 headlight bolt

Does anybody know where I can find C5 headlight "pivot" bolts? These are TORX head bolts with a plastic bushing and a locking nut. There are two per headlight. The dealer does not sell them alone. Thank you

Try one of the used parts vendors. There are links down the left side of C5 General.

your best bet would be to try and find someone parting out their car or someone who switched to fixed headlights. it will probably take you a while to find some because you cannot buy them new without purchasing the etire headlight assembly. it is also difficult because most part outs are due to front end collisions, ruining the peices you need.

He's not talking about the adjusting rods, even though those commonly break.

I purchased used ones about a year ago. I will try to dig up the info on where I got them. They were from a corvette recycling shop
