That thing that holds your headlight in place.. the chrome ring, that screws into the aiming part.. 4 screws.. shaped like the headlight.. i tryed removing mine.. but hte screws were SUPER stripped.. i feel the only way to remove it is to destroy it.. but before i do, I need a replacement one.

what is it referred to?

headlight retaining ring... just bring that pic to the parts guy & hopefully he can point out the motormite 'Help" catalog or aisle that has this...

other than going to a dealer (+$) or salvage yard (-$) or even the buy/sell/trade forums (--$)

start here, scroll down to 'headlamp' then 'headlamp retainer rings' then look for the "Steel. Two-lamp rectangular systems"

part #42407 <my old pc doesn't show me the pics>

ya, sux to have them rusted shut...

once again, PB Blaster to the rescue! then put some anti-seize on the threads during re-***-embly so they won't rust out on u in the future...

i had a handy impact screwdriver to help get miines out when my headlights finally gave out on me :P
