Mini-facelift headlight reflectors loose in unit
« on: 19 March 2010, 12:41:38 »
Hi All

It's been a while since I've posted, but the old girl has been going great recently, and sailed through the MOT the other week!
I noticed the other day when I went to change a headlight bulb that the reflector in each unit is flapping around loose! Is this a common issue on Omega's??
Do I have to buy 2 new units, or can I remove the lens if I carefully heat the retaining lugs up, or will I suffer with misting unless I reseal it with silicone afterwards?
If anyone has a solution, I would be grateful to hear from them!

Thanks Chaps! :)

It is a common problem and we have a chap working on a design for a replacement adjuster arm that should allow them to be repaired. See if you can soldier on with it for a couple of weeks and there should be some news. :y

Hi Kevin

Thanks for the reply, glad Im not alone in this problem!
I've survived the winter, so another couple of months won't hurt. I must admit, the output from the lights are awful, and thats despite changing the bulbs to uprated ones and cleaning the lenses up!

Hi All

Does anyone know if the replacement adjuster arm has been sorted yet?  :-/
