Default Lost the little access covers.

Someow I lost both access covers for the headlight shouds. Reordered the shrouds and they don't come with the stupid little plugs either. Anyone know the exact part # for these stupid things?? Its really annoying not having them. Thanks in advance for your help

I can't seem to tell on my parts diagram. Try calling Fichtner Chevrolet or Fred Beans.

If you're talking about the approx. 2 1/2 inch round plug on the side of the headlight shrowd I'm missing one of those, too. I'll be watching this thread. I've covered the hole with black tape for now, but it isn't pretty.

If you bought the new design bezels (shrouds), try GM P/N 10435410. See the following link which talks about the new design bezels/plugs:

Default Thanks!

Thanks for the info GrayC5! I really appreciate it... And thanks for bringing up the subject Ken-rx. Looks like I'm going to have to order the shroud and the plugs both.

I have a supply of them for the "old" style shroud. The new style have a key hole and are turned in. These are a force fit. I am selling them for $10.00 a pair shipped. Please e-mail me if you would like a pair.
