Xenon headlight problem...help me.
 
2 Attachment(s)
HI~

I just bought Xenon headlight on eBay(please check attached pics).
While I adjusted angle of a low bim, suddenly, it was loosen.
I think the pin(adjustment knob) has come off..
but my hand doesn't reach to the pin.

I sent a email seller, however, he never replied about it.
Thus, I need your help.
Please see the pics I uproaded, give me a chance to fix it..

that happened to me once with my stock xenon. i just graped the lence in side and snap it back to the pin.( cuz you turn the nop too much)

Looks like you need to push the ball end into the other fitting. Looks like a simple repair. Problem is that you must have maxed the adjustment on the knob. Do these units have the motors fitted for computer adjustment? Basically an oval shaped 4 pin connector on the rear of the lights.

Hmm...looks like the projector53's from jlevi or umnitza..in fact I'll bet on it.. Perhaps they can answer his question?

If it doesn't work, try calling umnitza. After all it's their product and they should know the fix.

Umnitza buys these lights from a vendor (DEPO?) in Taiwan or some such company, and does some slight re-working and "upgrading" to their specs. These might look the same but they are not (their claims, not mine). You might contact them to see if they can help you though.

We are debating the finer points of what Unitza actually does to their lights in another forum with lights for the Z3.

Yeah he got them here, but it says they are made in Germany...

For much much cheaper I might add....I don't know, they look pretty much the same as the umnitza / jlevi ones...Identical if you ask me...

the high beam and low beam are connected together inside so u have to pull it towards you so it goes into the connector. I have the same headlights and once its loose, you might not be able to adjust it using the knob. Its just a simple fix but do it gently.

the seller may not help you, since you may have turned it too far. do as others suggest, try and push it back in!

It's the same as the umnitza - and jlevi.. was wondering if anyone bought these off ebay - take pics once you have them all installed!

good luck.

i am wondering how those vendors selling them cheaper would affect umnitza?
