The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area General Truck Talk Advanced Design headlight trim ring

Asking for a buddy's truck. I tried to search the forums but didn't find anything specifically to this issue. Is the headlight ring on an AD truck held on with a screw at the bottom or does it just pop on and is spring held? If anyone knows or can provide a link, instal;/removal instructions, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

The bucket should have a tab to accept a screw that hold the trim ring

You can see the tab in this pic

About the 1:00 o'clock position in that pic.
Installed it will be at the bottom

Often times the tab is broken/ missing

Thanks Dads50. I was under the impression no screw was used on the trim ring but I guess I was wrong.

One of my headlamp rings is missing the tab for the screw, haven't lost it yet.
But I do have a replacement bucket to change it out.

You can purchase those tabs that the headlight rim is screwd to....I think. I'm almost sure I have a new I bought somewhere out in the shop.
Big Tee, there are some springs on the back of the headlight rim and the one at the top of the headlight rim fits down into a slot on the top of the headlight bucket........ I'm sure you know this but just in case you didn't. Good luck.

Here you go. Bottom of the page. $4.50 each
