1968-1982 C3 Headlight Housing Actuator Rod Clevis Link 3958887 - OEM Number(s) (3958887)

Small Part, Big Impact—Keep Your C3 Headlights Moving Smoothly

When it comes to your 1968–1982 Corvette C3, every part of the vacuum-operated headlight system plays a critical role—especially the Headlight Housing Actuator Rod Clevis Link. Often overlooked but absolutely essential, this component connects the actuator rod to the headlight housing, ensuring smooth, reliable headlight operation.

A direct-fit replacement for GM part number 3958887, this clevis link is built to factory specifications, helping restore your classic Corvette’s headlight system to like-new performance.

Why It Matters:

If your headlight doors are sluggish, misaligned, or not opening at all, a worn or missing clevis link might be to blame. Without this critical connection, your actuator has nothing to push or pull—leaving your lights stuck in the dark. Replacing it restores the mechanical integrity of your headlight system and ensures proper operation every time.

Precision-Engineered for Factory Function

This clevis link installs easily using factory-style hardware and delivers the right amount of movement to sync your headlights with the vacuum actuator system. Whether you're restoring or repairing, it’s a must-have for reliable performance.

Tech Note: If left unaddressed Worn Headlight Housing Actuator & Linkage Parts can lead to costly paint and or fiberglass damage. As these components wear more play will become evident. In severe cases this wear will allow the Headlight Housing to contact the paint or fiberglass surrounding the Headlight Housing.
