broken headlight mounting screw
ok so i bought some headlights off here dont remember from who can check but not really important but he didnt tell me the mounting screws were broken and i was wondering if anyone had any idea on how to fix them or could help me out in any way and if u need pics i will try and post some later dont really know how but im sure i can figure it out lol
just in case it matters they are 97-99 and both mounting screws are snapped off on the right side and adjuster is loose from the left side headlight

if i were you i'd get the dimensions of the screws and look for them at a hardware store... then again, i can't picture exactly what your describing. if its just a few screws that can come out, replacing them is no problem at all.

post some pics. theres plenty of ppl on here that could offer you some great advice on how to fix em yourself. im sure its not too hard at all. you just need a few more sets of eyes on them to see what your best course of action would be.

i changed out my 97 plastic headlights to the 96 glass headlights and didnt realize that i had a broken adjustment screw. it was broken at the point where the plastic nut that clips into the housing that adjust the aim of the headlights. luckily it was in a spot where i could use that metal putty that gets really hard. i just fashioned it around the plastic nut and placed it back in its seat and let it cure. Hard as steel and now i can adjust the light without it popping out of position

BINGO!!! Got tired of buffing the headlights more than the paint. Plus I do a lot of Highway driving and bug guts some off the glass a lot easier without worrying about scratching the lens. It has served me well thus far.
