Xenon headlight problem
 
1 Attachment(s)
Hello,

my driver's side xenon headlight has some problems.
seems like my xenon projector has been fallen down or off the socket. (please check pic below, it has big gap in there)
I think dealer will replace it under warranty but the problem is they only have US stock headlights, mines are euro clears.
so I was just wondering if it's possible to fix/replace that thing alone? :dunno:
anyone can help me?

Thank you

Does it aim in the wrong direction? is there anything that isn't functioning properly with it?

Kris@modmynav 06-07-2007 10:26 PM

it doesn't aim wrong direction too much but aims right direction
(I know driver's side headlight supposed to aim right side for safety of opposite driver, but it's kinda little more than normal)
and I have adaptive headlight system so projector moves right or left when I turn my steering wheel, it moves, however moves just little bit.
I found that my projector has been fallen and moved forward, also I can see chrome paint of each edge of projector is chipping off while I turn my steering wheel. :(

I had the same problem with mine whan I had 01' and replaced the xenons with amber corner for the clear corners: when the lights were shipped over to me, one of the projectors was hanging loose inside the light assembly. I had to open the back panells on the light assembly and reattache the projector back on its hook up system. but that was on old light assembly and without adaptive option. I still think is mechanical and can be fixed in your garage...
I have the same lights euro style and I wish u good luck, I know that dealer can't help u unless u deal directly with Europe. :popcorn:
