Diagnosis and Part Selection Advice:

How did you know this part needed replacement? Why did you choose a certain brand/part number?

Right headlamp assembly smashed during a collision; decided to replace both left and right so they have a similar look. This was a good idea: on an 11 y/o car, the difference between a new one and an old one would have been obvious.

I didn't choose any particular vendor: the car is old, wasn't *that* fussy.

Part Comments

What came in the box? Were additional nuts, bolts, sealant, etc. needed for the repair?

The headlamp assembly, plus the two headlights themselves in a socket: they can plug right into the wiring harness. The amber bulb was NOT included.

It did not come with the two jackscrews needed to hold them in place. The screws have Dodge part number 06505760AA (superceded by 06506566AA), and are about $4.50 each from a dealer.

These jackscrews require a T30 Torx wrench, but replacements seem to require an 8mm nutdriver.
