Default Help finding Headlight Part.

I'm just needing the rubber pieces that actually hold the headlight up. Does anyone know where exactly I could buy these?

I tried that already. They told me they cannot sell them by themselves . They come with the complete headlight package.

I have various headlight assembly pieces laying around from my headlight R&D. Can you take a picture of the actual piece and it's location? I might have what you need. I can guess from the shop manual photo but I'd prefer not to and can give you a definite answer yes or no from a good photo.

This is what it looks like



This is were it goes. It holds the headlight in place.

I found the car in an auction and it was just completely vandalized. So i figured it would be a good buy to fix and use as a daily driver. The headlights were broken and some body panels were damaged so I just upgraded to aftermarket pieces. I had the originals off my 98 but I just don't have those dumb little plastics things that hold them up.

Sounds like a fun project!

Take a look at those f-body parts, I've long thought those could work for the similar C5 parts but never had occasion to try them myself.
