If anyone has any left over, undamaged headlight caps from any projects they have undertaken, I need two. If not, if someone can provide me with the part number for those, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

send me a picture of what you need, or rather a picture of where they are supposed to be on the headlight and ill check on our car for the part number

 

If Rob can't help, the parts for the Headlight Condensation TSB are available from the Chrysler stealership for ~ $22. Have them look up the TSB and it will reference a "Kit" for the repair.

TSB: 13-Jan-05 - 08-002-05 - Lighting - Condensation in Headlamps

2 large caps and 2 small vents. Backwards compatible with any year headlight housing.

 

Max, that is why I love you LOL but not in a homosexual sort of way, not that there is anything wrong with that

Going to call the worthless dealer later today.

Thanks Rob, I am going to try to source them locally and see what I can come up with.

anyone know how I can get another clip for the high beam bulb? Upon taking the headlights apart, I realized the previous owner had used a f*cking twist tie to hold in the bulb

 

I have an old headlight here with everything you need. You can have it in a day or so when I come that way if you want???

 

If you mail one to me, I'll make a couple!

 

LOL well I went over to my neighbor's body shop last night and looked through about 20 headlights before I found a nissan with the correct clip

Max, if I can get another clip (spare) I can send it to you to make more because it seems these are unavailable from the dealer and people lose them all the time

 

Max, I have a spare one (clip) and would be glad to mail it to you for a pattern, I would like a couple back though but would be glad to pay for them. Larry

 

Ok, guys-you're on. I'll PM you both and when I receive a clip, I'll procure the correct spring wire and I'll make a passel of them. I'll send yours back and at least we'll have:

A) a bunch sitting-waiting for those in need, and

B) a pattern that more can be made from.

Problem solved!

 

Max and Larry, what a great idea, I have no doubt these will be used for needy members....

 

It's in the works-Larry is mailing them ASAP.

I shoulda' done it long ago. I would use one of mine, but that would be the one time it goes skittering into the bowels of the headlight!

 

Max, I just got back from the post office. It should get there early next week sometime. Larry

 

I'll get on it as soon as I see it. I should be able to get the wire overnight. Bending jig, wire-forming pliers and strong hands! I may make a custom jig just for these. Once you have the dimensions, it's just layout, drill, ream and press!

And Rusty and John-the other project should continue on Monday or Tuesday-the welder should be back from hunting in Kentucky tomorrow and back to work! I'll know how it works out very soon!

 

I am trying to reassemble her this week, I know I will need to put the OEM airbox back on her, but hopefully not for too long
