Default Headlight Beam

Hi,
One of my headlight beams, the left low beam, can (and does!) rotate. Can someone please tell me the fix for this?
Thanks,
Jomo

The lens has come unglued from the reflector bucket, which is a relatively common issue. My RH side low beam did the same.

You can try to glue it back, but its probably easier and more reliable to get a used lens from a salvage yard or eBay. If you try to glue it back together, I'm not sure what to recommend you do to prep or glue it, but it is theoretically do-able.

Used headlights aren't very expensive though, which is the route I went.

As Al stated, this is not an uncommon anomaly. One of my headlights had this issue.

I removed it, cleaned it up, and applied a thin bead of two part clear epoxy. It's held up for over four years now.

I actually did the repair by removing it and applying glue-epoxy glue. This was done today and hopefully all will be fine.
