Post by: mantaray on 23 January 2011, 18:37:38

Is it possible to get new ajuster bits that fit inside the head lights or do you have to buy compleat lights ?

From Vx... complete lights. Have a look at the sticky in the top of the parts for sale section, a member makes them in aluminium :y

The aluminium ones look great and to make it worth doing I suppose this is a common problem. Mine went a year or 2 ago but I didn't notice until the MOT failure on alignment. I also found that Vx dealer only supplies replacement whole units at about £180. I could have sourced a replacement for elsewhere for £90, but as I needed to get the MOT done and use the car I fixed it by glueing a nut with epoxy resin either side of the plastic end where it had split through the thread.

The trickiest bit was getting the lens off the headlight. I thought the lens was going to snap, so I took care and it was OK.

Well what can I say, this is a great site and you are all really helpfull.  :y :y

I have contacted Gregg and ordered 2 of his aluminium replacements, £26 is a bargen and alot cheaper than replacement lights.  ;D ;D
