Need headlight parts help.....
Can anyone tell me....
Where there is an "on-line" detailed parts guide for a C5???
I need to find the part that couples up the rocker/lift arm and the pop up headlight assembly.
Either post it here or PM me.... I appreciate it...

***UPDATE***
*** GM in their wax encrusted ear.....
I went to the dealership and had them look up the part. They found it and then told me it can't be ordered separately, but can only be obtained by ordering the complete headlight assembly for a paltry $507.00.... WHAT!!! for a 26 cent pin!!!
I went to a "local" hardware store (they're getting harder and harder to find) and the guy gave me a 1/4" shear pin, same that works on my snowblower..... The pin could also be used for linkage on a lawn tractor and it had many holes drilled into it, so this way when I installed it, all I had to do was push the hair pin into the hole closest to the plastic holding piece for a perfect fit.
The light works perfectly.....
New headlight assembly......... $507.00
Package of shear pins & hair pins....... $5.26
Satisfaction of fixing it myself........ $1,000,000.00
(Everybody has their price...LOL)
