Vintage Roadtrek headlight fell out!

[GaryBuscombe]

The passenger side headlight suddenly crashed onto the highway so I need to replace it…but finding one at a reasonable price has been tough. Tried EBay, Amazon, local junk yards, etc—no luck! My RT is 1998 Dodge Versatile 190, part #55054871- 46536B..any suggestions?

Hollander parts finder is a great place, although you will hit dead ends often, you can usually find what you need.

Ordered a replacement headlight through HollanderParts, thanks to this group. But when I tried to reinstall my existing 1977 Roadtrek left light, couldn’t figure out what holds it in securely…the heads of the aiming screws are smaller than the 3 mounting tabs. What am I missing here?

My headlights were flopping around. Not sure if you had same problem but anyway.... Turns out the plastic retaining "bushings" that carry the headlight screws were cracked. I improvised a repair with metal nuts and washers which are less convenient to adjust, but won't rot out. Had same problem with windshield wiper arm bushings, but those rotted parts were replaced with exact duplicates from auto store. Plastic does not stand the test of time.
