It might have been discussed before but I just realized there are different versions of the headlight carrier. Early is on the right with orange overspray.

So, I have learned a bit on these parts tonight. It seems that there is a righty and a lefty. Word is that an "L" and an "R" are stamped on the side somewhere.
What I want to know is what the hell is the welded "U" do? I know there is a big headed nut that the U can catch on. But is it part of the beam adjustment? Does it do something in a night time collision? What does it do? Which will answer the Why does it need adjustment? |

That is the stop which contacts the adjusting bolt which limits upward travel. I read your other thread. I have not used that led brand but others I have used are tricky to get to boot on. I think late and early carriers can be swapped. Do you have the left on the left and right on the right sides? |
