Headlight adjusters
cignet:
Many thanks your data. Will certainly try this minimalist piece of engineering!!! Altho i find oven heating very effective i will certainly try fiddling next time!!!!
I had not realised the two axes were different or that a ball bearing could be used.{think 6mm is too big but easy checked before making}
Thanks again guys very much appreciated.

Removing the lens allows you to clean inside it, lubricate the bits you can't get to normally and ensure everything works as designed. I reckon on spending about 30minutes per lamp, which includes polishing the outside.
I tried a couple of methods for removing the lens, but using the oven was quickest, easiest and less likely to damage anything.

I have found the adjusters from tyc/depo aftermarket lights to be promising. The aftermarket lamps themselves are in my opinion useless/extremely low quality. But the adjusters inside them seems far superior to the original hella adjusters. Different design but fit in the hella lamp. I have picked up a couple of broken/damaged depo lights over the years. Always tear them apart, remove the adjusters and bin the rest. I have also bought a roll of butyl band from eBay. Usually add a little extra butyl to the headlights before i seal them up again to be sure to avoid leakage.
