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.

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.....
