Golden Rod
hello folks.. was adjusting vertical adj on 02 headlights.. little too high, adjusted right side down to where needs to be,
but, the rod twisted off on the left side, I have the cover off and see the adjustment in, so i need to take out the headlight I m thinking and get at the adjuster.. is there a way to adjust it with out taking it out ? and can the rod be replaced or need to replace whole adjuster ? I have read many threads on it, and does not look promising...
Any thoughts or ideas appreciated..
TIA..

The rod can be replaced but I have no experience with it yet. So I'm not sure if you can adjust the light without replacing it or taking the light out. You will have to remove it to replace the rod I'm sure though.
Here's a link to the new rod..

I found one on Ebay at factoryoemparts2. Mine was the vertical adjustment, worked great and I paid about $40 for it. Hope that helps

Rodney was a great benefit for the Fiero Community too. I help test some parts he prototyped. He did great work and tested his products.
I used his headlight kits to save my Fiero motors. You can't buy the motors anymore and they saved my system.

Lubing them is why!! These are hardly ever used. 10 years, or more, can elapse between adjustments. I always spray some penetrating oil on mine a week or so prior to any twisting. Like everything else, use it, or lose it. Bad for any mechanical part to go unused for years at a time....
