If you glued it, you wouldn't be able to adjust it.

However, unless something else is broken inside, you could just use the bevel gear to make the adjustment then remove it and store it away for future use. The worm gear will stay in place once adjusted (the bevel gear doesn't hold anything in place, just used to turn worm gear).

If the beam is aimed to the extreme up or down position, someone may have tried to adjust it too far, causing the worm gear to jam and pop the bevel gear out. If that's the case, disassembly may be required.

If you want to give a new (used) bevel gear a try, PM me your address and I'll ship one out today as I am already going to the PO to drop off some packages.

I meant glue the bevel gear in place. lol
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, wouldn't be the first time.

Photos, if you, or someone else, is interested

Passenger side (right side for those on the other side of the pond) used Porsche factory litronic headlights for sale. Below are two examples. One, appears to have had the lens cleared and re-coated. The other could use that service. The one that is more clear has a broken plastic tab that holds the ballast, so it is now held with a screw. The rubber seal surrounding the other headlight has deteriorated. Both work, both have bulbs.

$375 each payment via PayPal
Shipping to your confirmed address via UPS ground.

Sorry the picture is updside down, but you get the idea

Shows screw holding back on

Shows rotted rubber
