Default C5 Headlight Bumpers, Need Source

Guys, one of my Corvette Club brothers has worn out two of the four headlight bumpers and needs to replace them on his 2000, C5. He tried a couple of sources, including a Chevrolet dealer and came up empty. He needs a source for these bumpers. I'm referring to the small, white plastic bumpers that assist the headlights coming up and going down. Apparently, one of them is so worn that the headlight pops back up after going down instead of staying down. Does anyone have a good source?
Thanks

He tried flipping one, it almost fell apart in his hands. Thanks for the source.

Rodney Dickman's. Click here to check them out. His are the best and his prices are reasonable:
  • Set of 8: $20.00
  • Set of 4: $11.00
  • Single: $2.75


Click here for a test conducted by forum member Mr.Bill a few years ago, comparing them to others. Rodney's were reported as the best ones.
