Xenons bought, damaged fixable?

[Jackson901]

Hi guys,

Bought some xenons of ebay with no mention of any damage etc but it looks like they have been damaged via courier (I think). Both headlights have the same issue unfortunately I think its the self adjusting mech inside thats broken? And also one projector seems to be really cloudy?

The whole inside of the headlight (silver bit) is completely loose?

Is there some botch DIY I can do to make these worth using?

Thanks all

I think I'm going to end up doing a botch job by the looks of it

I bought some black xenons new mate, had 5 headlamps in total as they kept breaking! Couriers just kick them around! I was told by the seller they are replaceable but it's very fiddly...but I can't comment as to wether its true or not!

Yes they can be repaired, I have just repaired a pair with exactly the same issue yes fiddly and thin fingers are required.

what the hardest thing is finding a replacement white adjuster section.

this happend to mine when i took one unit out the car b4. the inside part of the light is on little ball and socket type things. all you have to do is line the ball and sockets up and click them back in to place. very fidely tho
