S13 pop up headlights problem... - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So I have searched through here, and google. And can't seem to find out exactly what the name of this part that broke, that keeps my headlight from going up and down.

It's a little plastic piece that basically attaches from the headlight motor, to the headlight itself. In the Owner's manual on page EL-41 it says "link b".

I've tried numerous zip-tying methods, and had them work for awhile. But was wondering is there an actual name for this part/where would I get one? Thanks

Dont know the exact name of it but have you tried any local junk yards? Or even called the dealer to ask what the name if or if they carry it?

are you talking about the plastic piece that has a ball center where the rod attaches to the headlight from the motor?

Yea I have a buddy at the dealership. And I guess it's just called a "headlight rod". Brand new with employee discount from the dealership was like $45. So I'll be at the junkyard tomorrow seeing if I can find it.
