Title: Where To Find Small Parts For Headlights?
Post by: Squiggle Dog on 15 January 2021, 09:08 PM
I'm attempting to put together a decent set of Euro style headlights and noticed that it's missing one of the plastic wedge things, as well as most of the vinyl protectors that go on the lens retainer clips. Can these be purchased anywhere? The free versions of the online parts catalogs don't show part numbers for them.

The plastic wedges are just used to guide the seal and lens in place, you can remove them and swap position and make a light for the other side of the car.  The rubber tips all fall off.  Not sure how but one could plati-dip them?

If you take careful measurments I can design those parts in sketchup and 3d print them out of petg.

Excellent! I sold the lights on which these parts were, but should I need some made for the set on my car, I will keep this in mind.

No worries.
