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 |

Did it, headlights, blind, hood and bumper now align nicely!
For anyone trying this in the future: Put the headlights UP, remove the 10 mm nut, pry off the arm from the motor spindle, put the nut back on, but only enough to get it on the spindle, (you need to do this because with the headlight in the down position, you can't get the nut on the spindle). put the headlight DOWN, now you can rotate the arm to position the headlight where you want it, then, using an open end wrench, reach in and tighten down the nut. Now it's locked in position. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the splines are very fine, so you can make very small adjustments to get it just right. |
