Went in and works great.

Before installing, assemble the plastic thread piece in the same position as the old one before snapping it into place. Thus, the headlight is in the same position as before.

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Ok

Parts The plastic part was too brittle and broke

This part was for a 1988 Dodge Dakota headlight. They are tuners. The plastic wings hold the screws firmly in the grid. The wings broke off because they were hard and not flexible. But damn, these are the right parts. Revain replaced the first order because it was an empty box.

Pros
  • Brings joy
Cons
  • New competitors appeared

Questionable quality, easy to separate heads.

They fit the Plymouth Duster 73, they are by no means as strong and of the same quality as the 46 year old headlight brackets I replaced, the new ones are softer metal and easier to remove, the new plastic is also softer and cracks or breaks more easily, I'm already looking for better ones to order, I think they won't even last a year.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Only available in black

Nacho chips would be stronger

White plastic tabs were cut off during installation, as if from nacho chips. it should even work in my application. I had to thin out the sockets in the headlights for the slots on the heads of these (Phillips) screws. My old screws got stuck in the plastic or ripped off the plastic. They had a torx head but because of the rust I assumed it was a Phillips head and removed the heads as well. Nice that there are adjustable headlights again

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • There are nuances

It worked perfectly for me!

They were correct for my application (1980's Dodge Diplomat headlight housing) and I was able to fit them without any problems (I've had 3 broken ones that had to be replaced). What I did (after removing the original broken part) was VERY CAREFULLY insert a white one into the adjustment hole until the clips on the back panel went through. Then I pushed it in about 1mm further, inserted a very small flathead screwdriver into the tabs on the back, VERY CAREFULLY pulled the tabs up making sure…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Communication with seller
