E39 headlight adjuster repair

[Dave]

Does anyone know if someone does this service in Ireland? Looking to get one of my headlights fixed ..

what year is the car?

It's easy enough to do with a heat gun, otherwise time and a bit of patience, I've done it 5 times now and its quite easy.

Buy the new rubber seals that are on the top of the lamp that perish and have them polished while they're out.

Is it possible to split the 02 onward Hella's? I've a late build E39 that I intend polishing the lens on - however if I've the unit out I'd replace the adjusters as they've been broken for years, but always pass the test, so I've left well alone to date.

They pass the test cause you can't fail an NCT on headlights being too low.

It's 03 on that I think you'll be ok the fence. Easy way to find out is to remove the lower trim, you'll see some of the glue exposed. If it's soft, you're in luck, if it's hard forget it.
