Detailed Description

This headlight retainer is built to replace a worn, broken, or missing original retainer on select Ford E-350 Super Duty, Ford E-150, Ford F-250 Super Duty, Lincoln Town Car, and Mercury Grand Marquis applications, among others. Dorman 42200 is also listed for additional Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury models across multiple years, including classic and late-model vehicles. The white plastic clip-on design helps secure the headlight assembly in the correct position so the lamp stays properly mounted.
