Question Which Store To Buy My Headlight Gear From?

Those get rid of the rubber bumper...but yet..even after the updated new epoxy...people still have problems keeping the casing of the motor closed...

These come with a better and new rubber bumper, and also come with this nifty little piece that gets rid of the case popping off...and it helps in other ways...plus its a lil cheaper.

Which one would you go with? Im leaning towards the rodney one...

are both of these still in business?... THANKS!

I have to admit the second looks better.My headlight just did this last Sunday and I ordered the first kit on Holloween but haven't seen it yet. Had a '95 for six years and never had this,six months with my LS1 and now broke,YIKES!
Think I would of ordered the second kit had I known about it.

For the life of me, I could not get the glue to hold my plastic motor assemly back together! One side would work loose, I'd fix, then the other.

I ended up buying 2 new GM motors online. Bite the bullet and paid the price.

But with this new brace design, It might be worth me picking up a set, for future use.
