Anyone know where to buy new headlight retainer rings and screws? Are they all the same for round headlights? If you cant buy them new, anyone have a good used set?

Thanks,

Call Jim K at Applied GMC. He has a lot of items not listed on his web site, including used parts.

Autozone, NAPA, Advanced, or the auto parts store of your choice. Dorman makes them.

Steve,

The part is a Dorman 42408. Call before you drive.
Round headlights have been out of style for a couple of decades not everyplace has them on a pin.

I purchased the Dorman headlight rings and new "3 prong headlight connectors" today!! I got them locally same day... Paid about 10.00 more total than ordering from Amazon but "same day service is worth something".

Ill let you know how they fit tomorrow...

Thanks again, for your help..

I was in a local Bumper to Bumper auto parts store today and saw 3 of them hanging on a peg. I did not price them.
