Default Headlamp Assemble - Loose

Hello all,

I noted that the headlamps near the middle of the car have become very loose. The headlamps themselves aren't connected to any clips, and they are simply holding on to the chrome outer ring.


I try to press the ring inward, securing it in however it seems that with Maltese roads, they are bound to 'pop out' again.

How can I tackle this problem?

Thanks,
From sunny Malta

Hi ttop you have to take off your head light front cover and then tighten the three screws on the chrome bezel . You cant see the screws till the front is removed .Hope this helps .

take it easy when tightening these screws, they will strip-out the metal they screw to.
