Default Headlight cover level adjusters

I have a 2000 coupe with a broken headlight cover level adjuster bushing. It's the small square piece that the adjuster screws into. There are 4 per side. Does anyone know where I can get them? Thanks in advance!

Try one of the used parts vendors here on the forum. I have had good luck finding small parts from Vettenuts.

What you are looking for is called a speed clip.

Available at any hdwe store, or home depot.

Default Clips

Thanks for the help, but the picture you have is like the clips that secure the headlight cover to the headlight assy. The bushings/anchors that I need look kind of like the old style license plate bolt anchors. They hold the cover heigth adjusters.

Can you take a picture of where the bolts attach too so I can get a better idea of what you are talking about?

Perhaps your height adjustment is different than mine.

Mine are adjusted by moving the cover up or down, and tightening the screw which goes through the speed clip.
The speed clip is actually the adjustment.

Raise or lower it, and the holes line up to where the cover fits correctly.

Bob.

I had to adjust the new bulbs I put in yesterday, and got a look at the level adjusters you are talking about.

Not sure where to get them, but I don't think they are Corvette exclusive.

Try Home Depot in the hardware aisle.

Bob.
