There's no way I'm trying to split a pair of brand new £150 headlights otherwise I might be :laugh:

Wise move  :grin:

So I stripped the front end down to remove the old headlights, got the offside one fitted, went to plug in the motor for the beam adjusters in the nearside light and there was a lot of movement....thought hang one something's not right :undecided:

Had a proper look inside and the plastic lug which moves when the motor turns is completely snapped so it's not actually attached to the headlight rendering the adjuster useless and the lights move around inside the housing :angry:

I gave the company a ring 45 mins ago and they were ringing me back in 5 mins to give me a time for them to swap the headlight for a new one.....still not heard from them :angry: :angry:
