I have seen the screw fix for the headlight adjusters being broken but I have also been told there are metal replacements for the broken plastic adjusters. Does anybody know where I buy these????

 

Never heard of that? But I did read that a guy built his own adjuster out of a threaded rod set up. After the plastic stuff got all broken. You do know that the screw fix still allows you to adjust the head lights up and down, using the screw??

No I didnt. I have already taken the headlight assemblies apart thinking i could fix the parts but they are too brittle so i really just want to replace them. Still looking......

 

I vaguely recall a detailed post about it but it was waaaayy beyond anything I could attempt so I didn't pay any more attention, sorry. I think it's on a site other than this though there may be a link to it. I'd try google and obvious words (and hope).

 

Any luck finding new adjusters?

I just tried to replace my bad bulbs and all the plastic adjusters broke when I sneezed on the housing.

Metel replacements would be the ticket.

 

Call ken at motorcars they sell a kit with plastic and steel. The plastic is not weak i can tell you and i use these kits too.

theyre about $100 each side

 

Ever take any pics of those adjusters?

They fit in the ball socket of the oem part?

 

Found these, too bad they're on the other side of the world.

Here's a link to the Motorcars repair kit, looks like it only supplies the straight adjuster.
I have a call in to see if the off-set adjuster is included also.

No call ken and make sure they open before they ship too you. And complete kit has the u channel, and the short and taller ball stud adjusters. I just got 2 incomplete sets i had to send back, so ask that they check them first

 

Do you need to specify which side of the car the kit will go on? Also, is this a situation where if one has failed, you ought to replace both?
