Title: Headlights
Post by: Sam on 28 October 2009, 13:33
Hey guys, another quick question for ya, i bought some x hair headlights but there left hand drive, i know all you gotta do to change them is swap the two top screws over but how the feck do you get the little bastards out?? I have been trying to get just one out all morning, the clips are mental! Is there a knack or am i just retarded??

Many thanks in advance, sam

Yeah on each of the adjusters then unscrewed them and swapped top 2 around.
Iemailed the guy i bought them off and he sent me pics and instructions.
Other thing i found was that when i went to put them back on the car there is no hole for the adjuster so you ll need to drill one because its on the wrong side.
