Headlight chrome reflector.
« 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

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

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.
