So, after a lovely day in Burnham on Crouch ( - with a nice bit of Posh! -) we had a really shitty drive home at night in the salty crappy mess we get on the roads if there's a hint of frost and I realised that my headlights were dimmer than a Toc-H lamp. Cleaning the crud off only made a marginal difference and I also noticed that the alignment was a mile off...

So today I fitted the Night Breaker bulbs I've had on my 'to-do' shelf. I noticed though that the plastic socket inserts for the adjustment screws had both broken, probably during my vigorous cleaning efforts of the evening before. I've bodged it for the moment with some cable ties, but does anyone know if the ones on Ebay are compatible..??

Any help gratefully received!

If it's the 3 that go in the headlight itself then yes correct

If it's the one that goes in the surround then NO
:D

Now you're asking ...

They are the little socket clips that the alignment screws seat in - they push into the mounting frame at the front of the headlamp . The ones on Ebay look very similar to the ones I broke..

There is just one different one that fits into the black plastic surround all the others are the same as the picture you have posted
I'm sure they will work
