Anyone Know Of A Source For Headlight Adjustor Retaining Inserts?


Recommended Posts

The inserts into which the headlight adjustors are inserted have cracked and my MJ has a case of droopy-eyes.  No amount of adjustment works, as the threaded adjustors simply slip out of the inserts.  Dealership replacements are NLA and they did not give me a part number.

 

Is there a source for replacement adjustor parts? Or any acceptable substitute?  I bought several universal insert packs but none of them were even close to fitting that particular location.

Any Jeep/Chrysler/etc. vehicles newer than the 2001 XJ that has the same inserts?  12+ years is pretty old for injection-molded abs plastic.  If there is anything newer with the same inserts I might try starting there.

 

And for that matter, are the 97+ inserts the same as the 84-96?

There is aqua colored one that Auto Zone sells for GM vehicles that works perfectly for XJ/MJ header panels. The only problem that I found with it is that it clips perfectly in only a couple of the spots, but not all of them. That could also be an issue with my cheap eBay header panel.

I found "universal" ones for the header panel to attach the grille, but not the headlight adjustors.
