Keep It Aligned: 1968–1982 Corvette C3 Rear Link Pin – Headlight Housing 2.5-Inch
If your C3 Corvette’s flip-up headlights aren’t opening in sync, wobble during motion, or struggle to stay properly aligned, don’t overlook the role of a seemingly simple part—the rear link pin. The 1968–1982 Corvette Rear Link Pin for Headlight Housing is a precision-fit component that plays a key role in the smooth and synchronized operation of your headlight doors.
Why This Part is Essential
This 2.5-inch rear link pin secures the linkage at the rear of the headlight housing assembly. It acts as a pivot and fastener, allowing controlled movement between the actuating rods and the housing. Over time, original pins can corrode, bend, or loosen—leading to inconsistent headlight motion, misalignment, or premature wear on adjacent components.
Replacing this pin restores the original geometry and tightness of the headlight assembly, helping ensure consistent up/down motion and a secure, vibration-free fit.

Tech Note: Prevent Costly Damage with Proper Headlight Housing Maintenance
Worn or neglected headlight housing actuator and linkage components may seem like minor issues, but left unaddressed, they can lead to serious and expensive damage. As these parts wear, increased mechanical play develops—causing the headlight housing to shift beyond its designed range.
In severe cases, this excessive movement can cause the housing to contact surrounding painted or fiberglass surfaces, leading to chipped paint, surface cracking, or even structural damage to your Corvette’s front end.
Replacing worn pivot pins, bushings, actuators, and support hardware ensures proper alignment, smooth operation, and long-term preservation of both appearance and function. Address these issues early to protect your investment and keep your C3’s iconic flip-up headlights operating—and looking—the way they were meant to.
