Stop at your local chevrolet or GM dealership, see if they have any part #15705372, whopping $1.50 each.

Re: headlight adjusting screws

I can agree how these can be a pain. Did the autozone purchase and of the two in the package, one worked. Fortunately I only needed one.

Here is a link that may help to consider options.

Yet I admit I was about ready to resort to modifying a simple wall anchor to work. Basically the same thing!

A tired warrior of the 1980s in a world of low profile tires, front wheel drive, and plastic bumpers, where people stay in their houses until snowplows move the offending substance from their paths, too helpless to travel without AAA and chains and salt, clearing their windows with longhandled brushes while gently stepping around in the snow trying to stay nice and dry.
