I recently watched an old episode of gearz about building the fall guy truck. On there they had some headlight

Threaded Inserts/Plate Nuts by ARP.​

But now ARP doesn’t offer them. Does anyone know anywhere else I can get them? They pop riveted in

Don't get any others than these green ones. I can't remember the brand, I've still got the box I can look. But I believe it was goodmark. All the ones aftermarket/parts store just break instantly against the tension from the bucket spring. Absolute junk! Do NOT get them.

These green ones have made it through 5 years of -60F to 110F. They're way beefier looking even.

Are these for the long adjuster screws? If so, I found some cheap plastic inserts in the Help! product line that fit the square holes in my 91 Blazer (quad headlights).

Yes it’s to replace those plastic inserts with something more durable

I was going to switch to the 90's ford style, they bolt or rivet on I believe, but even those seemed cheesy compared to the good green ones.

Also mine is a backroad truck on 35's and rough country springs lol. If they survived our temps and my truck for 5+ years, they'll work great for anyone.

Sounds like they might be a good replacement
