Frequently Asked Questions

What does a headlight adjusting screw do?

It sets the headlamp's aim. Turning the screw moves the headlamp so the beam can be pointed where the vehicle's service information calls for.

Will this Dorman screw fit a 1975-1979 Buick Skylark?

Yes. The 1975-1979 Buick Skylark is among the listed applications, along with the 1976 Pontiac Ventura and the 1973-1975 Buick Apollo. Check the "Vehicles it fits" section for your exact vehicle.

What are signs a headlight adjusting screw may need replacing?

Look for a headlamp that won't hold its aim, sits loose, or doesn't move when the adjuster is turned, or a screw that is broken or missing. Diagnose the cause first, since other mounting parts can also be at fault.

Is it designed to match the original part?

Yes. Dorman designs it to match the original part's fit and function on the listed applications, and builds it from quality materials for reliable performance.

Should I re-aim the headlights after installing it?

It's a good idea to check headlamp aim after installation. Follow the vehicle's service information for the correct procedure and specifications.
