Xenon Level Adjusters

I can't recall and post and just started searching.....

Does anyone recall a post or know where to buy replacement adjuster control arms for the inside of our headlights ?

Are yours stripped out? I don't recall them being sold separately like the E39 adjusters were

One arm is literally broken
Another...it's holding but the mount holding the ball (is missing some plastic).

Think I'm going to have to buy junkers for donor parts
I don't see any online as well...

Hmmmm, Maybe this is a misnomer but I don't recall any adjuster control arms for the "inside" of our headlights. Correct me if I'm wrong but Zenons are on the outside. Remember that there are front and back level sensors. Time is money. Before running all over creation trying to find them just check with the dealer. Their not that expensive.

There is an "arm" that adjusts the vertical aim that connects from the stepper motor to the light housing inside the headlight. I think it is part of the motor.
Presume there is something the same for the horizontal aim.

I'm not there yet, but for free - at some point, I'll probably be giving the ~parts donor~ housing away once I get what I want. FWIW, housing is mint. Clips and all are nice.

I'll be removing the arms on both L/R, as well as taking the lenses as well. The rest if up for grabs if anyone wan'ts it...
