Easily Secure Your Car's Headlights

Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice as an automotive enthusiast I highly recommend this headlamp retaining part .It provides a strong and secure hold for headlights, protecting them from falling out or shifting during rough rides. It's made from durable materials and is easy to install, making it a great addition to any DIY repair project. The only drawback is that it may not fit all car models, but overall this product is a great solution for headlight stability..

Pros
  • Easy and quick installation of headlamps.
Cons
  • Requires specific sizing and compatibility with certain headlamp models.

ZERO corrosion resistance - won't fit any of them

Installed these on my 2006 Jeep TJ - holes didn't match but managed by two to extend/insert thereof. Not the end of the world, just hassle over an item listed as fitting my car. A 5 minute job turned into an hour and a half. The real problem, however, is that the round cosmetic ring (not the area where I extended the slot) began to rust almost immediately. Just two months later I took them off - a rusty mess. I live in Connecticut and I know we had a severe winter, but it was February-April…

Pros
  • Reliable quality - backed by a US team of product experts and over a century of automotive industry experience
Cons
  • Low repairability
