Default Headlight side plug - Free!

Have you ever noticed those little plastic circle covers on the inboard sides of your headlights (when they're up of course)? Well, my car was missing one on the left headlight assy. Long story short, I bought a replacement plug, it's the wrong one, and I can't return it. It has a flathead spot in the middle for turning it where my car requres a different style. GM # 10435410. Anyone want it? I'll mail it to you!

I also went through the same discussion with a dealer. The press on plugs are no longer available. GM has dscontinued them. The replacement is the slotted plug and you will also need to get new matching plastic headlight bezel cover.

Not available anymore. You have to replace the bezel around the headlight assembly then those new ones will fit.

The new bezel/plug is much better than the old.

Someone has to have a plug that will fit.
It may not be a corvette part, but someone has to make something.
