Title: Headlight
Post by: bruce on 09 April 2008, 13:15:26
I have Xenon Headlights, I think (that's what the handbook says anyway  :-[)

I changed the parking light bulbs this morning and noticed that the reflector on the drivers side is loose, like it moves about when you touch it, Does this mean a new headlight or can it be fixed ?

Cheers
Bruce

PS..Sorry if this is in the wrong forum

Hi
Yes it can be fixed with patience.  You need to remove the front glass using a hot air gun to soften the adhesive.  Then repair the broken adjuster using adhesive or whatever, and then stick the front glass back on again.
