Default headlight question

Anyone know a part number or where I can get the plastic pieces that hold the headlight housing in place? Thanks

Can you post a photo of the part you're looking for?

Looks like they were possibly removed for a motor change out. I recently put in a brass gear and it sure made it easy but I'm kinda tired of the light pointing at the ground. I tried dorman and doesn't look like they carry anything.

I think those only come with the bracket, GM PN 16523679 and 16523680.

I didn't see the parts on those bracket numbers. I don't need the white hex type bolts I need the black plastic parts that go on the adjustment screws and the metal brackets on the headlight. Thanks for the help though.

Sorry, your photos weren't very helpful. If you want people to know exactly which of the half dozen little parts in your photograph you're talking about, use MS Paint or something to point to or circle the part in question!

I don't think GM has a specific part number for those but you might try here:

I don't have any idea what the size of the ball sockets are on these, but they look close. They are snap in and made for a ball socket type design. These are standard Hella adjuster hardware items and are available from a variety of sources, Jeg"s, Summit and Amazon being a couple.....

That may work with the one round one which will probably be the hardest to find. Thanks for the link I'll definitely keep those in mind.
