surprisingly good fit
was skeptical at first since finding correct parts for an older chrysler model can be annoying and usually things don't line up right. but these zinc-plated steel threaded screws worked out great. alignment is proper now and the molded nylon retaining nut holds everything firmly in place. solid quality overall.

headlights fixed nicely
bought this set for my dad's old dodge truck coz the headlights were shaking all over the road during night drives. dad was so irritated with it. fitted these screw assemblies easily into the factory holes without any extra hassle. now the sealed beam setup is locked in tight and doesn't droop down anymore. dad is super happy and feels safe driving after dark again.
