New 03 X Type 1st day problems and solutions
Hello all!
I got my X type yesterday and found the headlight was pointing 5 meters in front of the bumper. I thought it would be an easy adjustment but then I found out you have to buy a new set of lights, or somehow glue that nylon stick back together. Glue was not an option since mine didn't break, it shattered into 5 pieces. And glue doesn't seem to be strong enough IMO.
Anyways, this is how I fixed the problem and I hope it would help all those with the same issue.
I was 2 clicks away from spending 900 on a pair of new headlights!! But now I only spent $8.76!
I drilled in 3 screws strategically to center the headlight, and the screws will hold the reflector in place, but also allow me to adjust the beam.
