Appearance & Detailing - Headlight stopper?

If anyone has had a lot of experience with the famous trans am headlights, then they will know what I am referring to.
After a year of annoyances, I have solved all my headlight motor woes. my headlight motors work like a champ, very solid. everything was good until recently, BUT its not a motor issue. The white stopper that stops the headlight motors arm at the proper place is so worn down that electrical tape only helped for a couple weeks. the inside of the stopper is even tearing, I basically need a new one. The question is, WHERE? Where on earth can I get one? I have had no luck on google. :/ And it's annoying because my light will open fine but when you close it, it closes then opens about an inch and stays like that.

I would, but I'm not into dull exteriors and square interiors. :/

I use these rubber grommets as spacers, they fit perfectly. Couldn't tell you where I got them, just found them in my garage lol.

Do you think you could get a picture for me? Maybe to give me an idea of what's working for ya?

I have HID's in my lows and fogs and I never even use my headlights anymore. Started feeling kinda bad when I could see there eyes shining from lows :) Fogs put twice as much as the old factory lights!

I have my fog's aimed pretty low so that they don't shine in to the cabin of most cars and can also see really well. Don't think it's legal to ride around with fog's only around here at least :(

Try Hawks's Third Gen or Classic Industries.

Used a high level epoxy and made a custom stopper. Works like a beauty.
