Title: Hella twins adjuster screws
Post by: Khare on 20 March 2013, 22:19

Looking for a complete new set of adjuster screws for main and full beam lamps, as mine have rusted away and are broken/seized and the headlight aim is all over the show!

I've fixed my GTI headlights (Hella) with adjusters from a single chamber (Bosch) lights - also mk3....

Might got a plastic bit still somewhere around if you can send me a photo and take some measurements of length etc then could check if the one i have would fit yours?

I'm on about the Hella twin lights not the standard MK3 lights.

These are the screws (pics courtesy of Mr Pioneer).

Anyone? I've spent ages searching google and I'm no closer to finding replacements.

I got long M6 bolts and several washers and nuts and basically made my own. Mount the bolt head up tight with a nut with washers either side onto a fixed point and then you can move the nut back and forward to adjust the beam.

I need to replace a couple of mine too, well the white plastic piece that surrounds the screw head. I once found a German forum that suggested using some BMW parts, possibly E30? I'd have to go and find it again, also my German is next to nothing.

When I can be arsed to take my twins off and measure them up I'll make a few sets up at work and send them to you for postage. Can't say when it will be but I'll let you know!

Haha nice drawing josho! It's what I had in mind of what you had done. Spikenipple, very kind mate, very kind, but I need it as soon as possible as the aim in literally 2 meters in front of me, so I'll strip down the lights this weekend and get the bolts and rebuild them. Cheers again.
