Hey guys, I bought a box lot at an auto repair shop auction over the summer and these were in the box. No name on any of parts. My best guess is something to align your headlights, but I will be danged if I can figure out how they go together. I would appreciate any information if you recognize them. Thanks in advance.

Looks like something K-DOG cobbled together.

Some adapters and suction cups for headlight Aimee's. Headlight Aimee's not included.

Head light aimers is pretty good. What ever there intended use was they can be re-purposed into swivel vises. Just google bowling ballvise to se a home made one from a bowling ball and how it works.

Thanks for all the replies. Learned something new today. Looks like they are called Hoppy Headlight Aimers adapters.

Those ones with the rods are for the headlights that have curved fronts. Each headlight had numbers next to the locating points that you set that number on the adapter and then the Hoppy headlight aimer could be used. I have a set of those still but the rubber suction cups on the aimers won't hold suction very long.
