93 Daytona Headlights

[Torrle101]

I have just about given up on finding headlights for this car, the only other ones that will work are lights from a LeBaron and even those are hard to find, and when I mean lights I mean NEW or the next thing to new. I have a decent pair of lights that project well but I know they can be better. I just finished installing adjusters so I can aim the headlights and if anyone’s interested you can find these adjusters in the NewYorker and the LHS cars. I would like to get a hold of a good looking pair of headlights and corner lights as well; the ones I have now are very clear but hold condensation in them, I have tried numerous times to seal them but all attempts failed. Otherwise I am asking where else I can probably find these at, or even if I can get the ones I have remanufactured. The current source’s I have are eBay, a few junk yards, and a couple of new and used auto part stores. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

What are you trying to seal them with?

I just bought a complete near new set off someone on the RTML (as "extras") and I plan on using them to convert my headlights to "true" HID (redo the housing's, glass etc).

While converting my '01 Maxima's headlights to true HID's, I ran into the same problem. What I found was the leak acually can come from the rubber bulb holder. A lot of people focus on the sealing of the glass/plastic, but often times it could be the bulb holder's not secure enough, causing a bit of moisture to get in there. You know those little packets of silicon that comes with new shoes that they tell kids to eat and they eat them anyway? lol Well I have one of each hidden in my headlights to absorb moisture. So far, so good and no condensation/leaks.

I thought 1992-1995 LeBaron headlamps were different....or is it the corner lamps that are different???

BADA$$, there are new adjusters availble? Got part numbers/ price/ pictures? We're they direct replacements or did they require some "custumizing" to get to work?

I know of no one who makes these lamps aftermarket. Your best bet is the dealer for brand new, and that's if they aren't discontinued.

Well the corner lamps are different but the headlight is basically the same the only difference is the notch on the top and the glued on spacer piece thing on the bottom of Daytona lights. For the adjusters I simply went to the junk yards Dodge, Jeep, Chrysler, Plymouth, Eagle, section and looked thru the cars and found that the Chrysler NewYorker and LHS models had these same adjuster, so I just pulled these, brought them home and installed them, make sure they actually work before you leave, I have run into a few that were in the same condition as the ones I had install at that time. I have a pic of the same type of car that you will be looking for and a side by side comparison of the LeBarons mounting hardware and a Daytona’s mounting hardware. I did go strait to the dealer for headlights but they said that they discontinued those; auto part stores don’t carry them either.

well, looks like early/mid 90's new yorker is the car. i'm going to call the dealer first to see if i can get new as opposed to getting used, becuase as you said, theres a chance used ones could be frozen... prolly not available seperate unless you buy the whole mounting bracket.....

The adjusters I got were free, and no I didn't have to get the headlight mounting bracket. I simply pulled them out, walked to the cheakout, the guy looked at them and said have a nice. I don't know if junk yards around your area are the same, the ones I go to are self serve yards.
