Hi i have overtightened the adjustment on my omega headlamp and its broken so, the lens is floppin about, anybody got a drivers side zenon projector lamp for sale ..
2 on ebay but 4 days to go thanks

You need to give more info , facelift ? minifacelift ? HID ?  etc etc .. there are several different headlights, and maybe this should be in the "parts wanted" forum

Be careful of some of the ebay lights, the "black" ones are illegal in this country....

[markey mark]

they are repairable bud ! you have to take front lens off and remove reflector !!

I have the HID lights with the projector/ballast/motor/ect the bit thats broken is the long screw above the spot light in the middle has the bit it screws into to inside the lamp the white cog.and now the inside reflector part is loose and i have lost adjustment, can you get spares

Cheap Trick:
What has happened is that the adjuster has popped out of its ball socket (or if you are unlucky its snapped!)
Take one electric drill (a slow one) and fit the appropriate hex drive, and wind the adjuster rapidly out towards the front of the light. At some point, it will go "snap" loudly, as the lamp internals will press up against the inside of the lens surround, and the ball pops into place. Just make sure the ball is located in the socket first.
Be careful!
Cheers,
Edwin

Chris - do you have any adjustement holders? I can get aluminium replacement for ca £8-10 each but I want to do them by myself and this will be cheaper. More we will do, less it will cost.
It's much better to fix the headlamp then to buy a replacement one, as they're all the same and it's just a matter of time, when it'll snap.
Unfortunatly - most of headlamp holder failure is bu snapped adjustement holder.
It's a common problem and all lens headlamps are very sensitive. This material looks more like a crayon not a plastic so you can damage it really easy.

Watch out for the ebay ones, WHen I had this problem I bought a second hand projector unit from ebay, when it arrived it had exactly the same problem ! Got a refund but it was a lot of hassle. I went back onto ebay and managed to buy a brand new unit from Germany for £70 inc delivery - and yes it was the correct UK version.

My friend is selling these for ca £9 but I am trying to get a price from another friend who's got the milling machine and can do it cheaper.
I will keep you up to date, as I just had the same problem in my headlamp and now my mum asked me for help with same thing...
These £70 are usually low quqlity  DEPO lights so I really advice to fix it than to buy new lamp.

[markey mark]

yes please mate keep me informed !! cheers mark
