Title: Another Depo Headlight Problem! Fuuuuuu-
Post by: MickeyC on 13 November 2009, 16:58
Out with 1 problem in with another...

Had my Xenons fitted today , all went well, until just now i goes out to check them out in the dark and i notice the passenger side beam pattern looks funny.

The problem is this part of the headlight has been pushed forward out its socket and is pointing slightly to the right!

Can this be clipped back in from the rear of the headlight? or will i have to take it all apart?

These headlights must of cost me around £500 already and i still havnt got them right!! EBAY SUCKS !!!!!!!

I fitted some lights the other day and while pushing the plug in from behind it also popped the light out of the socket. I did manage to pull and clip it back in position while attached but i can suure you it is the worst possible job :cry:

Best and easier option would be to pop the bumper etc off take light out and pop it back in place...easy peazy!

if only one light decides to come on sometimes it's down to the ballasts.
