Default Headlight dust cap part number?

Anyone know the part number for the dust caps on the back of the quad headlights. These are plastic, about 3" in diameter, and they screw on 1/8 turn.

Thanks,
Rob

they are not available by themselves.......unfortunately.

How many do you need? I might have a couple, just need to check my stock. And....if you are looking to swap from ones that you drilled for HIDs - I'd do a straight swap if you pay for shipping. I'm going to drill 'em out anyway!

Bummer to hear that. Typical damn manufacturers and their parts systems. :-(

I'm still debating about sticking with HIDs or not. I had a problem and was going to ditch the HIDs but after putting the stock bulbs back I just can't believe how crappy the stock lights are. I may stick with HIDs if they warranty the problem on mine. They've been good to me so far.

I'll let you know in a day or two about the possible swap idea.

Thanks,
Rob

alrighty!

These 4th gens are nice on the HIDs - a capacitor is all that is really needed to negate the flickering that might occur.

Mine never flickered. But I've had two bulbs go from white to yellowish and one side that just began failing to turn on consistently. Ugh.
