my headligth (right hand side) touch the fender little by opening and the paint get scratches. It work fine many years. no mechanical work was done in the area. no idea why something had changed. From my understanding, I open the 4 screw nuts litte at closed headlight and try to push the headligh up. from feeling a 1/2 mm only and it looks like better now. but not satisfied. Any advise how to adjust the headlights ?
many thanks in advance, Uli

Hi Uli, could it be that your headlight motor mechanism is slightly loose and has moved, slightly, but that only the one headlight was critically close to the body work? The 'gear' that the headlight motor mechanism engages could also have become slightly worn making the headlight droop? Or the little rubber grommet that usually sits in the headlight opening has fallen out/ disintegrated and so the bucket now touches the bodywork? Just some suggestions. Good luck with the trouble shooting,
cheers, Tim.
The headlight bucket screws go thru monstrously oversized holes with big washers. so the amount of possible adjustment is substantial! As for the rest of the system, there are supposed to be white plastic bushings on both ends of the headlight bar. If they have disappeared as mine did, the steel bar will be very noisy against the steel body panels during raising & lowering. Replacements are readily available from the vendors and the bushings are split so they simply "screw" onto the headlight bar.
Hi Bosswrench, sound very reasonable, thank you, regards
Uli
I am missing all white plastic bushings... and the big washers were formed like a little cylinder. therefor an adjustment with only little opening of the nuts allow a very limited adjustment only. I pressed the washer back and straigth. the adjustment of the headligths was easy done herewith. Fixed the nuts with ad spring washer. lights open and close perfect.
thanks, regards, Uli
