    Headlight conduit grommet

     



    I have to get new headlight conduit for my new King Bee headlights beacuse my other conduit will not work. I also have to get a rubber grommet or something else to secure it to the radiator. Anyone have any recomendations? Thanks.

    Consider using the Lokar's - they have a nut and threaded insert that mounts inside the grille shell with no grommet. Word of warning, the instructions that come with these leave a lot to be desired(as with much of Lokar's line )

    That's the kind that I have now, but it has two male ends and I need a female end to connect onto the stud that comes out of the headlight.

    That's what I mean about the poor instrctions - take the stud out of the headlight and use the stud in the Lokar conduit - I have King Bee's as well. The Lokar stuff works fine.

    The ball mount on the bottom of the light fits the headlight bar without the round plate which is used by folks to mount the light directly to the grill shell. Discard the plate and original stud, hold the light bucket on the bar, then thread the Lokar bolt thru the hole in the bar and into the light. You do have to pull the Lokar wires out to do this.

    This is a Lokar/King Bee setup - sorry about the detail but I can't recreate totally for a while because the car is blown apart for paint.
