914World.com _ 914World Garage _ Headlight filler plate question

Posted by: Peashooter Jan 10 2013, 06:30 PM

Hi Guys,
I'm installing the headlights into my six, and I have a question about how the filler plates in front of the headlights get installed. I have the rubber pieces, but being as how the car was completely stripped when I got it, I don't know how they go in correctly. The factory manual is no help and I know you guys know how to do it. Pictures are always appreciated, but verbiage will work as well.Thanks!
Bill

IIRC-remove the headlight plastic surrounds. . If you've got small hands you can reach inside under the eyelids without pulling the headlights out . . the little rubber plugs push through, pointy side out, 1 to under the fender and 2 inside the trunk. . . lube them up. . push. . . and use a little 'pick' to work them through. . . Yeah, it's somewhat of a PITA.
By the way. . where they go is where they go. . you adjust the gaps by adjusting the headlight hinge pins

Whatever you do, make sure you have both headlight relays removed first!

Your fingers will thank you ...

Thanks, I've got it. No need to worry about relays yet, the car is just now coming together. I used a motorcycle battery to test things and get the final adjustments right.
