Hello everyone I hope you are all well?

looking for some advice, I have 2003 x type and was adjusting the headlight aim ready for mot. As I was turning the adjuster the headlamp seemed to drop down completely!

Does mean I’ll have to replace the whole headlights or is it just the adjuster needs replacing?

any help appreciated

 

The subject is a 'beaten-dead-horse' and there is much discussion in past forum threads.
Many people drill holes and install 'wood-screw' type fasteners to hold the inner assy in place.

You might do a forum search for broken headlamp adjuster in the S-Type and X-Type sections.

 

I had this problem aduster kit availible on ebay i took the headlight out and gently removed the lens right pita but done it replaced the adjuster comes as a kit then refixed the lens i used sikaflex marine fix and seal that was two years ago still ok hope this helps

 

 

sorry for the late reply been very busy with work. This really helped and all sorted now thank you 😊

 

Does the kit that is shown work for both headlights or just one?

 

That kit is for BOTH headlights. Just done mine using the same kit.

 

Ok, thanks! My headlights are just bouncing all over in there and I didn’t want to pull everything apart to find out I needed to order the “other side”.

Thanks again
