Title: Headlights
Post by: Del Boy on 02 January 2009, 21:29:10

Commin up with low beam fld vision last tester sed he cant wind headlights up anymore was changing side light bulbs the reflector was swinging in the wind does it need replacing or could it be the sensors on the wishbones? But have read that there is an ecu module could it be that.

adjusters busted by the sounds of things, quite common on the later headlights, you could try dismantling the light unit [bit of a job]but the adjuster plastic doesnt seem to like superglue as ive tried myself, so it might end up being another unit from a breakers etc, sorry to give you bad news :(

still think the adjuster is fubar as you state that the reflector is swinging in the wind ;)

Yeah mate so do I to be honest, will probably just settle for another set of lights if it doesn't pass.

its sounds like the adjuster is flubbered.

i have replaced mine both sides due to a garage using an electric allen key to adjust the head lights  >:( >:( >:(

cost £160 for the pair brand new.
