Damn dude. 2 hours on the internet looking to see if the manual adjuster could be removed and the motorized one put on a new headlight and nothing until I found this vid. Thank you for posting!
Unfortunately you completely missed the most crucial part of this. The electric adjuster has a ball on the end of the actuation rod which has to fit into the groove inside the headlight. The groove is in the bulb fitting that pivots and is controlled by the actuator rod. What I haven’t been able to do is get the ball into the groove. I’m hoping that I can hold the bulb fitting so that the ball can be pushed into the groove, but I haven’t tried it yet. I was hoping you, might address that here. Shucks.
Hold and pull back on the reflector through the main lamp hole, with a clean rag or clean glove on your hand (to prevent staining your reflectors inside). While pulling back the reflector, position the ball-pin on the motor rod, in an slight angle, to enter the clip and groove, and then sliding it in through the clip. A little force is needed. If engaged correctly into the groove, you can now feel if the reflector is properly attached, by push/pull on motor, and the reflector responses. If all OK, orientate and twist/lock the motor assy in its designated slot. 😊
I have a nissan qashqai and i took out the motor by accident on headlight and i put it back its working but not adjusting the headlight what am i doing wrong
I am busy with replacing K12 headlights therefore I searched and found this video and learned to be careful with the grooves. Anyway it took almost 3 hours to replace one side because of the narrow space around the lamp body. The other side will be faster I hope.
@@kleopardo Hi, can you adjust the height manually ? My left headlight it's pointing way higher than the right . Motor is working fine in both but on the left the light appears way higher .. thanks

@Chris - yeah! This is so succinct. Exactly what was required.
Thanks T7nor!

Great stuff thanks mate
Cant get the new motor on its not close enough to twist on
How to put the electric adjuster back into the lamp??

@@T7nor Perfect explanation 👌

If it is has the same kind of connection the pin might have missed hooking in the groove and not pulling it.
kleopardo i got it working again thank you for your help
