Keefred Posted March 28, 2009 Share Posted March 28, 2009 Put me new glass headlights in today, easy peasy lemon squeezy, bit of agg putting the bulbs back in as I think I had a combination of hb3 and hb4 so had to cut a bit off the back of one to make it fit in the bulb holder. It all got a bit confusing as it was starting to rain so was rushing a bit and I'm thinking I am sure the thread on here said about cutting a bit out of the wiring plug hole on the back of the bulb and looking at an old one I found I can see hb4 seems to have 2 slots where the hb3 has only one or the other way around so I'm thinking obviously that is the bit you have to cut off to make the wiring plug fit. Anyhoo, got them back in and will order some new bulbs anyway, looking at the chart on here about bulbs I can see I need some hb3 and hb4 to fit my new uk glass lights, one or both I assume I will have to file off the slots in the bottom to fit the wiring plug. What I really wanted to know is, on the new ones they have the motor and socket to plug them into the thing that is inside the car which makes the headlights move up and down to adjust if you are towing or whatever, on my import there is no wiring harness or adjuster on the dash to make this motor work, so when it comes to adjusting the headlight beams, which I thought wouldn't need doing as they would come from toyota set up allready which doesn't seem to be the case. On the back of each motor is a nylon nut which is obvously there to turn them up and down with a spanner, as well as the other long metal bolt for doing the main alignment, so is there any advantage to having the nylon nut wound fully one way or the other before you start ?

Keefred Posted March 28, 2009 Author Share Posted March 28, 2009 Just spent the last hour searching on here and on google, seems to be conflicting advice unless I don't understand the terminology ? Pretty sure fogs are adjusted by one nearest the wing, not botherd by those. One thread says, Inner = main and dip, left to right adjustment, white knob = up and down for both. Other says, bottom - clockwise = raise, middle clockwise = move to center of car. On the glass lights I take 'bottom' to be the white one as it is at the bottom and 'middle' to be the long adjuster that is not the one for the fogs ????? I am going to take it somewhere tomorrow to get it done, and if it turns out to be a Kwiksplit or similar I have to go to I don't want some 12 year old telling me he can't do it because its an import or making it even worse or snapping somethng off my nice new glass headlights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
