My drivers side headlamp has an adjuster that's snapped, which means I'm no longer able to adjust the headlight left and right, only up and down. My MOT is due in a couple of weeks so I've ordered these to also help pass the MOT:



They're also for my bi-xenon retrofit project. I bought them early because of the MOT. I also couldn't bare to rip apart my originals to retrofit them, so I bought spares.

The amber can be sanded back and polished up to clear again so that they look identical to my facelift headlights. Why don't I just buy a spare set of facelift lights, rather than go through this hassle? Well two reasons. First reason is that pre-facelift headlights are A LOT cheaper (£50, as opposed to £250), and the glue is a lot drier, meaning they'll split easier. Sand back the amber part and they look like facelift lights, but cheaper and easier to open. It's a win win.

So after the MOT, and after I've de-ambered them, I'll split them. I'll order some bi-xenon projectors with some H1 5000k bulbs, and I'll get to work on the retrofit. I'm really looking forward to it
