Title: Headlight chrome reflector.
Post by: Steve Brookman on 28 October 2009, 14:05:09

A few months ago noticed that the headlamp chrome reflector on the wifes car was loose. Just remembered about it. How is it attached to the headlamp assembly - I think I loosened it somehow adjusting the lamps for continental driving. Its a 99 Elite with xenons.

All the best
Steve

I'd say that one of the adjusters was broken
Some have attempted to repair but most have to buy a new headlamp I'm afraid

sadly, my money is a busted adjuster - they go brittle after time :(

Are the adjusters that same right through production? I've got a set of pre-98 headlights here I might strip them out and try making some in aluminium if they are.
