Go to the wreckers and see if you can find an older Chvey/Ford/Dodge with square/round headlights.....you should be able to pilfer what you need from them.

The aftermarket parts are terrible. Every one I bought snapped upon installation. If you find a replacement, most likely it will be another manufacturer such as GM

Are these the right ones? It is a headlight adjuster kit for various 1976-2000 Chevrolet & GMC pickup trucks, SUV's & vans. The overall length of the screw is 2-5/16" with a thread length of 2". Found these on Fleabay.
