I have the facelift headlamps and both are really loose. Both missing some sort of securing bolt/housing to the side to connect to the wing. The male part is there and looks like a mortar rocket, seems made of metal. Surely not explosive? Could be.

Can anyone point me to the part I need please? I probably have to take the whole lamp off to re-attach? No idea, help me gentlemen

I wonder if someone has tried to steal them? used to be quite common the the facelift models.
Iirc look down the back of the headlamp and you have to twist some fittings to release them?

Possibly these? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/3xFOR-LA...450874&hash=item34354ee203:g:KkYAAOSwV2NfrkFr

Thanks Lynall, I did see those and they look likely eh. One was loose when i bought it recently but the other is a new development so maybe it was someone trying to nab them. I will have a go tomorrow at the back of the lamps - the light is about fail.

Cheers for the help

Those white bits from the ebay link are for non-facelift lamp adjuters, forget about them, not present on facelifts. In those holes in the wings are some other kind of retainers, round plastic inserts named "cupsac", google out XZP000010

The best security in that case is to park up to a wall or similar whenever possible so there's no room to get at them.
