Hello Forum,
What is the strip of plastic called under each headlight? Would any one be able to share a part number. I have searched a few OEM sites (Dealership sites) and cannot find them.
I found out how easy it is to break off the little plastic ends and need some new ones. Does anyone know what they are called or have a part number?
each is about 1 inch wide and 12 inches long. They slide / clip in.
Answer: They are called (as far as I can tell) HEADLIGHT TRIM. Part numbers and links below.
After further research.... I had initially looked at the part and it had a faded piece of paper/label on it. Thinking this was the part number label I started searching.
After posting to the forum I saw a pic where a part number was stamped in the plastic. Aha! Went back and checked and yes, stamped in the plastic.
The lower clips on each side are too easy to break. Advice for anyone who's thinking of removing them to try to do a headlight lens refinish properly, don't remove these things and just tape them off really well otherwise it's highly likely you'll break one of the clips off. Luckily the black plastic 'holder' that tucks these into the sheet metal holds them in place if one of the clips break.
