headlight problem
The low beam light now is like on a swing, there is no support at the bottom , there are support screws at 10 and 2 O'clock or so but it just swings freely in between! (From the pic I will assume there should be other screws around the light holding it but ???????)
It now points much lower than it should at rest and can be pointed upward as well, it just swings in the middle.. It is as though it needs a screw at the bottom, but has none!
I hope someone that has handled headlights before will what I am trying to say...!
I would appreciate some input from you guys...

drivers side only... low beam only. It was ok but got whacked while I was washing it and now the lower support seems gone, but in the pic I don't see a lower support!!!
what am I missing!

I would start with part #2.
Sorry I'm trying to be more helpful, I just had my front grill off a couple weekends ago; had my passenger side high beam out for the longest time (direct route for crappy K&N).
Come to think of it I may have the same problem on my passenger side, the low beam looks like it's pointed a little lower as compared to the driver's side.

the other problem is there is NO room to get in there on a V8 and play around!

Are you trying to play around with it from the outside or from inside the engine compartment?

There is a third one at the 4 O' Clock position. Look in Bentleys if you have one. You need that for upward adjustment. If you remove the rear shroud you should be able to see the wing(maybe broke)on the back. The cap may have broken in front also.
Good Luck,

May have to remove the front grill for best access.

Yeah front grill is crucial for working on the lights.Originally Posted by willobmw
