OBS Headlight Fitment

**970tahoe** · 11-04-2009, 07:07 PM

So I just bought new plastics for all of the lights up front an I am having a bitch of a time getting them to mount up.

1.) The parking light screw holes don't line up. What do I do? Give up and return them or ghetto fab somehow?

2.) The passenger side headlight is missing a mounting screw. Four screws hold them on and the top right as you look at it is gone and there is no female end on the radiator support. This makes for a serious wobble. Any fix?

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Oh....forgot to add some stuff

The headlights have no twist locks on the back of the housing for the bulbs....just three sheet metal screws that I tightened down to secure the flanges on the bulbs. I fear this will make them prone to leaks.....this is the link for what I bought.

quality is always better

i got oem light replacements and clear lights for the turn signal with amber bulbs. i love my setup

ebay lights are a joke.

i was just searching for this exact issue for a lil sum im working on. are there any decent aftermarket headlights for these things? ive only every heard horror stories about the egay ones, and want something with good light output. yes, i'll be going to HID, but i remember the output of these in my old obs was awful
