Damn Headlight Actuator
My right headlight has a mind of it's own...
Sometimes it won't raise (sounds familiar, huh)
The whole assembly including actuator has been replaced twice.
The first time it was due to a broken adjuster screw (I did that)
The replacement unit didn't look like the original (it had a boot on the ****), and the motor would jump around when the lamp was raising or lowering.
It eventually stopped raising.
It was replaced with another one that also jumped around, it looked like the last one. Now that one is not raising
What's up!!! :mad
This will be the third replacement, is there something different about the replacement parts compared to the originals?
Has anyone else suffered from this? Did it get resolved?
I hate bringing the car in for service, however I did buy an extended warranty for just this reason.

Thanks for any help. :cheers:
