Headlight mounts
Discussion
Hi all!
I'm currently looking after a mate's 98 S1 Elise and while I've got it, he's asked me to have a look at a few bits that need attention. I've completed most of them, apart from one.
The headlights, particularly the nearside one, are not exactly securely mounted, by which I mean they point at the road about 4ft in front of the car and the beams jump about all over the place over bumps.
I've had a look, and it would appear that the headlight is only secured by it's right hand side (as you stand in front of the car). Looking at the mounting bracket (or what I can see of it) on the other side, it looks rusty as hell.
The obvious answer is to take the light unit out completely so I can have a look and see what's up, but without a manual, I'm reluctant to start dismantling it. I'm not a mechanical numpty, but I've never worked on an Elise before.
Anyone come across this before or have any hints or tips?
Cheers in advance
