I have recently bought new plastic bowls and trims for my headlights. However I’ve got the kits and everything but does anyone have any instructions or suggestions on how I know they are correctly put back together. When taken apart they sort of fell a part. ?

Pictures below to show what have got left and what it looks like. It still rattles a bit.  3EC8FB8E-F659-4A06-ABEB-0B3E40A600DA.jpeg   74.65K   7 downloads  D978BF39-4D4B-403B-BE3D-E4E1646B087A.jpeg   76.34K   4 downloads

Hi,

There should be 3 of those flat plates with the lump on them.

They hold the light into the metal frame.

MPIs don't use the spring.

Where's the leveling motor?

Cheers

You've bought the wrong bowls.

You've bought the wrong bowls.

 

I was thinking the same. Need these, right?

Steve 220/rich 959... you're wrong i have bought the correct mpi bowl that house the motor  the motor is located in the picture at the bottom by the floor. 

[Jordy869]

the bowl you have suggest is the very bowl i bought haha from minispares   i was adviced with the kits that has the spring, i am aware the spring isnt needed for the MPI however the 3 little plates ive got, i have two left. shall i have two left? or not

Apologies, couldn't see it in the pic! Can't help with assembly I'm afraid - mine are still in the bags, a long way from assembly!

 

Above, Bat says you should use three of those plates per light - so if you have only used one and have two left, it seems that could be your issue. 

 

Minispares drawing doesn't seem to help

Hi , I am fairly sure one of my levelling motors has died , and the item is effected a sealed unit...has anyone tried opening one up with any degree of success ?

My duff one buzzes, I haven't yet tried swapping it with the one that works to make sure nothing is untoward and see how these work prior to being plumbed in, new ones are not the cheapest of parts.

Have you check your earthing first? I bought a new set only to find my originals worked and my earthing point was terrible.

Many ,thanks, good thought, I need to swap the two over first as the drivers side works fine as a check.
