Does anybody know who makes a decent headlight adjusters for a 87? I'm tired of these local part store pieces of crap.

Re: headlight adjusters
unfortunately they are all basically made at the same place and packaged differently so youre not going to find too much that is better quality

Re: headlight adjusters
I have found the square license plate adjusters to work really well.
They are kinda hard to get into the hole, but once they are in they are good to go   Every now and then I will have to replace them if they spin in the opening. ( seems like my headlights never stay adjusted ) Someday Im going to tack weld some "Nuts'' on the backside and call it DONE ! Bob

Re: headlight adjusters
I went to the junkyard and picked some up and cleaned them up. Left the autozone ones there.

Re: headlight adjusters
I just used a washer and a nylon lock nut. I set them once and have not had a problem in over 10 years.
