Facelft HID headlight repair possible??
« on: 25 February 2008, 19:17:36 »

One the offside headlight manual adjusters either broke or has unthreaded itself and its insides are floping around like a drunken irishman.

my question is can the headlight be disassembled and some kind of repair work done to it, my donor car has standard lights but id imagine that the manual adjusters would be the same............

many thanks, KB.

Yes.

You have to start at one corner and work around the edge of the light gently easing the clear section away, as it moves you should cut the goo with a knife, takes about 5-10 minutes to do one light.

Then you can either repair (glue) the adjuster or repalce it with a known good one.

When re-fitting the lense you need a good sealent on the face lense edge to keep water out (i.e Sikaflex)
