Title: Xenon adjuster - am i missing something?
Post by: tobyd10 on 25 November 2012, 15:27:45: HI,
I am looking to sort the xenon headlight message and have read lots of posts about the adjuster on the front suspension.
I'm not sure what the silver arm should be attached to? Has anyone a pic of the working article?

Thanks

It looks to me as though the arm has dropped off your sensor.

Worth checking in the 'for sale' section to see if anyone is breaking a car with xenons.

this part would be wrong as it connects to the headlamp unit

Post by: Lazydocker on 25 November 2012, 20:30:03: Check the sales section... There will definitely be someone with a breaker and a working level sensor :y

Incidentally, I think they are the same front and rear but mounted on different brackets :-\
