Headlight Adjuster - different?

Recommended Posts

I have removed my headlight assembly as I am doing this mod ---http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=94540&highlight=smoked

And I was wondering, since I dont have electric headlight adjusters, can I just replace the passenger sides headlight assembly frame with another one that is identical to the driver side frame? Obviously for the passenger side though. I just want both to be manualy adjustable.

See my photo attached.

Top frame is Passenger side the black thing circled, is the electric adjuster? As i was told awhile ago by a person her and bottom frame is drivers side the bit circled on that is a manual adjuster. Driverside has 2 adjusters per light and passenger has 1 manual & 1 eletric & highbeam has 2 manual adjusters.

So my question basically is, can I just replace the passengers frame with one that is fully manually adjustable?

OR I could just simply remove the black electric adjuster & replace it with a manual adjuster?

A n00b question, I KNOW. :unsure: But I just need to clear it up first.

Thanks all

Malcolm

You can actually manually adjust them with the electric adjuster. There's a bit on it you can turn. So no need to replace it at all if you don't want to.

Saweeet. Just as I thought. That black thing is attached to the frame with what looks to be plastic welded spots so I may have to break off. But all good. Saves me buying an entirely new frame. So now I need to go buy an adjuster.

Thanks Glenn....sorry for the n00b Q haha :lol: but I know now for the future :)

EDIT: bravo. yeah, I tried but didnt seem to do anything. i just wanna remove it so it matches both sides...looks stupid IMO.

You quite often don't get enough adjustment out of them Graham. Had that problem on the 318I my wife used to own.
