Alfetta Headlight Adjustment Screws

Hello All-

I'm upgrading the lighting on my 76 Alfetta GT. All the headlight adjustment screws are corroded and inop. Does any one have a source for these crews or a possible alternative?

Thank in advance for your time.

Cheers!

Which screws exactly? I may have spares laying about. The screws that have a dome-head which the spring clip secures behind are very difficult to source. I've pulled them all and given them a good cleaning with a wire brush and a coating of oil. I've also taken a dremel to re-cut the slot in the dome which can break off after many years.
The second adjuster screw (on the lower portion of the light that tilts it up and down) might be replaceable, but I haven't tried. If they're rusty and frozen in place - take the whole grill off and try to clean them in place enough to remove them fully - then wire brush them clean and oil them and see if they will work.
