Thread revival alert!

I am finally getting around to fitting these! I got stuck on the headlight bowls and motors. I thought that the hole at the top of the aperture was for the motor arm. However in this position none of the mounting holes align!


Turning it around 180° seems to have solved the problem! The wiring is present behind both headlights, but the connector is corroded on the O/S and I will have to replace it.

Unfortunately if you fit them upside down they'll work in reverse, raising the headlights rather than lowering them, I'm sure incoming traffic won't appreciate that Laughing

The motor lives and the bottom and pulls the bottom of the headlights in to dip them rather than pushing the top out Thumbs Up 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

Might be good for aircraft spotting though!

That hole at 12O’Clock in the aperture really got me confused!!
