looking for obscure metal tab on headlight
« on: July 06, 2022, 18:16:50 »
Hi, I'm doing a headlight repair and need the metal tab shown in the pictures below. It's about one inch long and rivetted to the bottom of the US headlight (AC, AN and AJ).

I'm hoping someone has the remains of a headlight that they're scrapping.

Thanks,

Meyer

Meyer,

I have at least two or more of these headlight bezels, from US headlights, that are otherwise unusable. Let me take a look when I return back home early next week.

Looks like I would need to drill out the rivets and you would need to reattach them with rivets or some other fastener…

Meyer, I sent some photos PM to you. See if any of this is what you need. I have the entire Bosch assembly (albeit with broken plastic) but the chrome surround appears intact as well as the piece you need...
