Headlight Fittings help please

ironhorse · Mar 14, 2015

Ok I have 1994 disco it has the oblong headlights which are held in at the top with plastic adjuster screws, these plastic screws are held in place through the metal surround, they then screw onto the lamp housing and you can adjust aim by screwing the plastic screws in or out a little. My problem is the plastic screw threads have now gone so the headlight is now free on that side and rattles about, does anyone know of a fix for this problem.

Buy replacement unit, eBay has a few sellers.

Replacement unit? Nothing on ebay , nothing I can find listed for it had this problem once be for, can’t remember how I got round it, I’ll have to make something up I think, the plastic screws are fixed in such a way you can’t pull them out without breaking them, no thought put into the design cheap rubbish.

I may be misunderstanding u then. Can u put up a pic of the issue, as the head lamp retainers are pretty simple.

The headlamp sits on the electronic adjuster at the bottom, pops on, then at the top there are two plastic fittings that are fitted to the metal headlight frame, these plastic screw type fittings screw onto the two threaded lugs on the top at the back of the headlight, they pull the lamp into place and also allow you to adjust the lamp aim.

Thank you for that link I really appreciate it, unfortunately my headlights are the ones before that fitment, the studs are part of the headlight none removable, obviously the change to the headlights was due partly to this very problem. Ill get round it just a pity Land Rover didnt address it for those of us who now have to deal with it.

I expect u have seen these spare parts for the 200 series style of head lamps. But I'll post it any way.

Don't u think that's because there's less items shown in the kit.
