Headlight lifting mechanism - adjustment?

Post by Peter C »

Gents,

I noticed yesterday that my nearside headlight does not rise to full height and that it pops up a little higher before it dips when I switch the lights off.

The lifting mechanism obviously requires adjustment. Any idea how this is done? There is only one motor, so I guess the adjustment is down to nuts and bolts?

Also, is this an easy DIY task?

My left one does this ,i though it was the motor so i changed it and it still did same but after spending hours trying to adjust it i gave up.

To adjust theres a nut holding an arm attached to motor, just undo and turn arm a little bit and re tighten.

open your frunk, look down by where the light fitting is you will see like a little red or black nob twist that and you will see the headlight adjust up and down :thumleft:
