My headlight bushings are totally shot, I couldn't find them on your eBay page. Any idea when your next set will be made? Thanks for doing this, I doubt anyone else is.

Been running these for maybe 2-3 years now. Great product, and a good excuse to remove your actuators and clean everything up.

I think the slightly softer 3D print bushing material is better than the OEM hard plastic/nylon. Sounds smooth and no clunks.

I've had mine installed for a couple few years now as well and there's no complaints whatsoever from me. Just had them off recently to service my passenger headlight motor and they still look good as new. Thanks again for making these kutukutu1.

just ordered some, when installing my new motor one of the bushings crumbled and keeps popping off, this caused my headlight to droop. If I like them il but the wiper bushings, the wipers thunk in the rain haha.

Thanks for the support. I am sure you won't miss the clunk. The sound of silence will be beautiful.

I am out of town for a work trip, but should still be able to order, it will just take a couple more days to ship. Thanks.

I had a hard time finding it for you.... I think it's because he's away on a trip right now. Copy this into your google search (NOT your epay search), and it will take you right to it:
