Mk3 headlights

[karjadi15]

Got some headlights stock ones from the wreckers and come home to find the interior of the lights are loose? Im guessig this is a common problem? Is there a fix to this?

The plastic parts are all in tact but it just doest stay and move around. Its getting pretty frustrating haha.

Part of the adjusters break from memory. Pretty common

Very very common. if you want a temp fix i suggested blue tac just so it doesn't shake but could always go a step further and body fill if you wanted. But just put em on ! won't bother you if you can't hear it

Yeah adjusters are broken, I aimed my headlights then went crazy with the silicone gun.

I think you probably have grounds to return them though, worth asking.

My question is this. I actually dont mind the rattle but how do I adjust it? Because at the moment it cant be adjusted, can someone tell me if it can be adjusted if I manually open it up and reseal it?
Can I adjust the reflector myself?

How did you adjust them with a broken holder?

I just grabbed the back off the bulb/wiring connection & aimed them the best I could. (marked the wall etc). then gentle applied a few big blobs of silicone to hold them in place. once this dried I went crazy with some more silicone. worked out OK for now, will be replacing them eventually as they both have small cracks in them as well.

So I cant adjust the reflector then place it on the holders and jb weld it?

I don't think so...... but you can carefully remove the lens from the front & have a look inside to see whats really going on, but all that did for me was show me that the adjusters were shagged as well as letting me know I wasn't going to be able to fix them.

This is the high beam side of the chamber. As you can see the Plastic part isnt actually broken or snapped or whatever but it wont stay in the housing.
What should it look like? What should I be looking for if I was to look for another headlight in the car yard to exchange with?

What am I missing in this one that wont let me adjust the height and also wont let it stay in the clip?

[karjadi15]

No problem guys, exchanged it with the wreckers for one that isnt broken. Though I tried adjusting it and it moves up really slowly and soon I was too scared to go even more in case it snaps again.
Thanks for all the help guys

Be very careful when you adjust them as it's that easy to break them.

My mk3 lights bounced around like crazy. Just added character.
