Putting aside the issue of the little plastic grommets that of course, broke being only 50 years old and for which I found excellent replacement, these headlights are still driving me nuts.
First off, when I disassembled them, there was NO spring as in the one on the 2002 headlights and as shown on a prior thread. Question, is there a spring on the E3? The parts catalog does not show any.
Secondly, I assume all the carriers(the silver things ) are the same as I have not been able to distinguish any difference. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
Third, do the little knobs on the lights fit in the recesses on the carriers? They do fit somewhat,(actually two of the three fit )but it turns out my lights are upside down, no matter how I manipulate them .
The new H4 lens clearly says Top, which, after assembly is upside down. The sealed bright beam is also askew. While they fit and appear to be adjustable, they offend my sense of rightness. Perhaps they are not correctly set on the carriers? I however, cannot see how they go any other way, and I have tried many iterations.
