i can see what i think is the bloody break now opporsite end to indicator and near top end of threads on adjuster

[MutantCav]

The end near the indicator will probably just need pushing back into place...the other end will be a broken adjuster...

[kjf7]

do you have to get in by removing the plastic front if so how seems to be sealed but would suppose it would be cheers

[markey mark]

Thanks Chris, thats what I meant but this free bottle of Bells has started working

HID are illegal unless you have self leveling and headlight washers!  

no there are not bud !  

[unlucky alf]

yup you have to take the lens off, heat up the edge with a hair dryer a couple of inches at a time & gently prise apart

[kjf7]

it seems the other light has come loose now cant see a break just part of slider moving do the threads go on these plastic bar stood s

[unlucky alf]

it self distructs mate, more often than not if you try & glue it itll be so brittle anyway the threaded bit on the end might shatter. perhaps mutant cav might help if you are near him.

sorry markey mark should of just bought your's would have been less hassel saw these and thought being next door would give them ago still might end up buyng some more maybe thhese will be of use to someone else

[markey mark]

no worries mate there still here

hi got the light apart glued adjuster now need to put back together is it the reverse or is there some better way to seal lights or is it a case of heating with hair drier and pushing back together

[kjf7]

that was a waste of time broken already luck hav'nt fitted is there a better glue used araldite last time? the adjusters arn't supported enought when in position inside the light only just reach the part they slide into

[unlucky alf]

this is what most people have found that the plastic doesnt glue very well on the adjusters, i ended up using old style adjusters but had to extend them as they are shorter, doesnt look pretty but does the job & you dont see them anyway, as for re-sealing the lense you could use gutter sealer or just use a clear silicone sealer, but the silcone stuff will be a pig if you want to get them apart again

[kjf7]

what about the adjusters from the old lights although hav'nt taken the lights off yet so dont know if they look anything like projectors

[HerefordElite]

that is exactly what i did - take 2 broken projectors and fit the old style adjusters from your current lights.

As Alf said they don't quite fit right and won't look pretty but it DOES work (i know )

The old adjusters are too short and won't reach the sliders but still long enough to reach thread so will work.

[kjf7]

maybe thats what have already been fitted to these projectors they only just touch the sides of the slider bit they run into adjusters are about 1.25 inches long without ball joint what do you think
