#1: Headlight adjuster fitting guide ?? Or am I just thick ? Author: davieboy76, Location: scotlandPosted: Tue Mar 01, 2011 1:31 pm ---- I had to replace a headlight and both of the electric adjusters were working fine . Now the headlight that I replaced the adjuster motor is workings I can hear it but it won't move the light beam up or down .. Cars sitting in the drive right now with the headlight out and I need this sorted for the morning ... Is there a certain way these go in ? Also one headlight is miles up and the other is miles down need this sorted aswell as that's all it failed it's mot on ... How much up/ down movement can you get from the adjusters ? Many thanks for any help

#3: Re: Headlight adjuster fitting guide ?? Or am I just thick ? Author: davieboy76, Location: scotlandPosted: Tue Mar 01, 2011 1:37 pm ---- the ball is still on the end .... is there a certain way it goes in so the ball goes into the slot

You can tilt the lense with your fingers to bring it closer to ensure you can slot it in

Then make sure the headlight fitting is right at the closest end to you in the 'tunnel' you literally have to slide it into place with a bit of force. BUT NOT TOO MUCH! & a bit of twisting into place & voila.

Author: davieboy76, Location: scotlandPosted: Tue Mar 01, 2011 3:21 pm ---- well thats one problem sorted ... fixed the adjuster on the off side and brought the lamp into line and on the near side the bulb was in upside down .unfortunately the plastic holder was melted (previous owner no doubt ) and the bulb was stuck solid so i had to use a screwdriver to prize the bulf off and accidentaly blew the bulb ... i replaced the bulb but thr lamp still wont light so its either a duff second hand bulb from another light i had or av blown a fuse somewhere ??
