HELP!!! I snapped a bolt replacing my headlight motor. Hey guys,
As the title says I snapped a bolt installing my new headlight motor. The bolt I snapped was one of the torx bolts that hold the headlight assembly to the car itself. you know the two bolts at the hinge point of the assembly? Would anyone have any lying around? or maybe better have the part number for me? THanks in advance for any help.

Anyway to fix a headlight motor ARM? Well I was taking off the arm from the motor. I know I know be gentle. Before the pivot section came off the screw the top part connecting to the headlight came off. Looks like a little plastic sleave was in there as well. I don't know if that wore out? Is there anyway of fixing this? or am I in need of a full headlight assem? Thanks for any help.

Had this problem 4 months ago. Bad news bro!,.. NO ONE will sell you the bolt. Your gonna be asked to purchase the whole assembly!! Do what I did,.. Go to home depot and fashion one of your own.

Ok one last time...ok guys I didn't break any bolt. The arm itself came out of the connecting whole. This connects the arm to the headlight assembly and then to the motor. The actuator arm if you will. When I was prying with a SMALL screwdriver to relieve the arm from the mounting bolt on the motor...the top part of the arm came off instead. The part that attaches to the headlight assembly. Has anyone else had this problem? If so is there a fix? Thanks for any help you all can give.
