Hello,
Is there anyone willing to sell the screws used to adjust the sealed beams in US headlights?
Attaching a photo.
Many thanks

If the dealer route does not work, try the local salvage yards or buy similar sized bolts and grind the heads to match

Yes, these screws are common on most MB cars of the era. I have lots, but you should be able to find some in your area.
