I need the part that the swivel ball on the headlight assembly snaps in to when installing the assembly. I can't find any info on these and my Dakota is missing one of them.

If you mean the ball in the corner that pops into the fender for alignment before you bolt it in place, those are part of the headlamp assembly and not available as an individual part. The replacement assemblies come with just a tapered cone for that.
