I am sure mine did not, how would that work then is it only the outer ones that have a place for the motor.

so they do have a place for the motors then? Wonder what its for?  Its only the outer ones that need adjustment to counteract any weight you have in the rear so you dont blind anyone with your main beams.  :kiss: :kiss: :kiss:

So I will ask the question again, they are on spring loaded adjusters, how do you fit the motor then if the lamp is a sealed unit.  :undecided:

I agree to a point with you but I still cannot see how the motor setup would work when you look at Hellas against standard headlamps.

The hella lamp motor fitting is the one you pointed out. The motor plugs in there and tilts the lamp up and down by way of a twisting adjuster. It works a similar method for most adjusters.

Have you ever tried adjusting Hella twins?

The have a very fine thread, they take a while.

They are also stiff.

Most headlight adjusters including the MK3 have ones that push in and out, not twist.

If I'm wrong, I'll admit to it, if so, pictures?

Where all my moneys went.

Golf MK3 1.6. Golf MK3 8v GTI.

I have tried adjusting them you bellend. Yours are stiff? Try greasing em up. If I uploaded a pic you would still argue. Do you think I made it up? You'll admit if you are wrong? How big of you. Why argue if you dont know what you are on about Josh?
