Headlamp bulb holder
I have just bought a motor from China for the inside of the headlamp, not yet sure if this is going to cure the fault but its got rust on the wiring connector, the active bending light flashes on the dash.
I first thought that when turning the light turned the direction your going, but it only comes on In that direction silly me. My other problem is the same as others in the light is yellow in colour even the side light compared to the other side, its a new headlamp fitted when I bought the car. Have I read that the xenon bulb holder can be replaced by EM lighting. Does the person that owns this company come on here, or do I ring them direct. Also can I fit this part when I replace the motor or does the headlamp have to be pulled apart. Hopefully someone will have all the answers, I have one and its torch it. Is a D4 more reliable? Tps quote £650 for headlamp, more than the cars worth Cheers David |

The xenon light swivels when steering (an moving forwards) as well as the cornering light turning on and off. My headlights are off the car at the moment, so if you want me to look at anything or take a hi-res photo let me know. I saw on youtube that to open them up, you have to cut the black plastic with a hot knife and then reseal. They can't be pulled apart after heating like older units as the glue doesn't melt.

I think this is the motor, seems to drive a worm gear to move the xenon left and right.

Yes i think that's it ordered from China.
Wondered if the xenon projector part is worth replacing while I fix the motor, haven't got round to ringing em tuning not lighting as I thought on the cost for one, as the O/S is new. |

Trups Patel is the guy that owns EM Tuning, he doesn't scan this forum as far as I know - his website is http://emtuning.co.uk/about-us/#
or you can call him on 01604-212743 He does do Morimoto lens upgrades for headlights but would need your lights for a few days to do them

Thanks
Will give him a ring, not sure if I can be without the car though, as wife doesn't like me driving her car Fiat 500 abarth. Cheers David |
