Headlight adjusting clip
Looking to see if someone had any of these laying around before I order. I have the screw, just the little plastic clip broke out. Pic attached of the little guy I’m looking for. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Headlight adjusting clip
The replacements that you get from the vendors are junk, the plastic is too hard and breaks if you look at it wrong. Do yourself a favor and go to the automotive hardware section of Lowe’s and get a suitable replacement. Maybe NAPA has something that’ll work as well.

Re: Headlight adjusting clip
I ordered 4 from Tom's Bronco parts a year ago and didn't have any problems. Took some force to get them snapped in, but have been solid since. My bronco does live inside so the elements don't affect those types of parts much. I can't compare to what Kinder is speaking of, but sometimes local is better!

Re: Headlight adjusting clip
Fair enough, the sets I’ve purchased were from WH, I don’t know if they source their parts from the same supplier as Tom’s. Of the 3 sets 1/2 broke during installation, of course I may have been too rough.

Re: Headlight adjusting clip
The ones I ordered from Tom's worked great. I didn't break any, but they did require some force to put in.

Re: Headlight adjusting clip
Tom’s was who I was going to go through if I needed to order some, may as well get enough to replace all if I ever need to. I’d love to find them local, but I don’t think I’m going to invest the time store hopping too much.

Re: Headlight adjusting clip
I was just getting on here to tell you I have some I was able to salvage off my old grille.
