Main beam lens is cracked, so need to replace. I have a complete headlamp unit ready to fit, but how do you get the old one out?! It appears to be held in place by the three height adjusters but I can't see how these are then fixed to the bodywork, unless they are bonded in place?

Am I being thick?

Yes I am!

There are two more bolts that appear to hold the housing in place. It appears that these are supposed to be captive, and that I should just be able to undo the 10mm nut on each and remove the whole unit.

Of course, in true TVR fashion the bolt is turning with the nut.

Anyone had the same problem? Any suggestions before I either a) get the hammer out or b) take it down the road to Str8Six and make it his problem biggrin
