Hi,

Hopefully you guys can help me - my headlamps move but when they "park" in the down position they are not fully down. When you switch them on - they go further down before they raise to the up position. Also they don't move quite together!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

Is there any way of adjusting the motor so that they 1. move together 2. stop in the right place.

Thanks for your Help

PJ

"3. take a 10mm socket and remove the "arm" from the headlight motor. you headlight assembly should now be free to be moved by hand."

Yeah, the nut the arrow is pointing to is 10 mm.

But you aren't going to get a 10 mm socket it on it when the headlights are down! The other arm is blocking it. I guess that's what was throwing me a bit.

In the up position, the other arm moves out of the way and you can get a socket on it.

I tried that, but I couldn't get the arm off the headlight motor. It wouldn't budge. I didn't use too much force, though.

So I guess put the headlights up, take off that 10 mm, put the headlights back down, and pry the arm off the headlight motor shaft. Nothing else needs to be loosened or removed first? (Like the fastener on the other end of the arm, for example).
