Hey guys, I'm back with another not-too-smart question. I'm trying to put the headlights in my '48 Merc, my question is; where can I find the correct headlight adjusting screws? If I'm not incorrect, the buckets I have are for a '53 Ford. Everything I've seen for my '48 has 2 springs and 3 adjusting screws, mine have 3 springs and 2 adjusting screws. What I can't find is one plastic piece that goes into the 1/2"x1/2" square hole. C'mon experience, help me.

I’ve got a picture of them and Amazon $ of $4.93
Dorman 42119 headlight adjusting screw .
I used f-1 or f-100 buckets . The original adjusters were metal , I had to lightly trim the plastic ones to fit .

If you're not sure what you have posting a picture will usually get a lot more response. Here's a picture (Dennis Carpenter) of what you could be looking for:
