Headlight problems
So I have this problem , should be a easy fix , but I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem an if they did something else. My headlight pop-rivets that hold the lamp to the mounting bracket have come loose , probably due to me trying to move / adjust the light to which I think is a total piece of junk to begin with , low beams work ok , high beams totally suck no matter what ya do . Anyway back to the pop rivets , should I re pop revit them or I was thinking stainless steel nut an bolt ?

If I where you I think you check with the stealer to see if they can replace it , it could be worth the try.

YEP I had that same problem.
Take a C Clamp and put a ball bearing on the rivet on the inside of the shell
tighten up the c clamp on the ball bearing and it will tighten the rivet.
Work like a charm.
