This is heaps noob :)

but i really dont know. :(
so i was changing my headlight lights(bulb) and when i was finished i noticed one side was pretty much not focused properly, i tried adjusting it to find it wasnt even moving.
talk to my mates they looked at it.
turns out the clip(lock) that holds the bulb is gone :(
idk where it went, im pretty sure it was there.

anyway.
Replacing it, would this mean replacing the whole headlight it self.
or just the wiring aspect. like the tip of the wiring where the bulb goes with the suction looking thing lol.

Cheers ^^


*EDIT: its a 96 coupe. so anyone have parts in sydney. ;) lol

if u know anyone with prefacelifted EK that have broken headlight (could be from accident), u might be able to get the pin off them for free...or u could try wreckers...

yea...not too sure, but there should be a screw/bolt or something to hold the pin to the headlight body...

there is a screw that holds it down
ur screw may have been loose wen undoing it and fell off

on my old ek i had to loosen that screw coz it was hard to unclip it.

Oh ok.
is it hard to re-attach/detatch the pin?

Thinking of getting one from pink and pay less lol.

And thanks guys for helping :) +1

Lol umm well when i changed my bulbs to Night Breakers ;)... and it seemed that the clip was held by 1 screw just like mrwillz said. So should be easy.

is the clip that wierdly bent piece of metal?? cause i dont know how to put that back on and it means my headlight (globe) bounces around)...

however to fix this i bought projector headlights.
