Headlight section loose

[Leonzee]

It seems like the actual fixture inside the headlight itself, which holds the whole cluster has come loose. Had a search for a guide but i couldn't find anything, mainly to do with faulty adjusters etc. This is working as i can here it trying to correct itself. I think the actual problem is another clip which holds it up. It seems this may have dropped as the light is sitting lower than the other and is super easy to move.

Is it just one side that is loose? If so, Is there nothing you can compare on the working side which will help identify what is missing?

Yeah just the one side thats loose, think ill have to take them off and apart to really know. Just wondering if there was a well known problem with clips or something deteriorating and leaving the lighting fixture loose with the unit itself.

Check the following,

1. That the ball on the end of the rod coming out of the adjuster motor hasn't snapped off.
2. That the ball on the end of the rod coming out of the adjuster motor hasn't popped out of the clip that is attached to the reflector.
3. That the above mentioned clip that's attached to the reflector hasn't pulled off. (I had to superglue one back on that kept slipping off)
4. That the reflector hasn't been popped off one of the other two fixed ball/socket connections at the top and edge of the unit.

If its option 4 it's a real PITA to get them back on/in.

Hope this helps.

Resurrecting an old thread, but I have this same issue as point 4 above on a brand new Hella light, the middle ball/socket, the one that is above the levelling motor is not seated together, and no amount of coaxing will get it to pop back in. This is the 4th one I have had from Autodoc, all been the same. I dont see how I can get enough leverage, or any purchase to get them to pop together.

What is the knack as getting fed up of returning parcels!

thanks
