I seem to have a bit of an anomaly with the headlights on my car.

The motor on the offside one stopped working a while back and I thought it would be the broken link rod on the rear suspension causing the problem so I changed that but the problem was still there. Then I thought well it must be the ballast so managed to pick one up from flea bay, to be on the safe side I also bought a new motor.

Well when I came to fitting it the ballast didn't solve the problem so took the light apart to get at the motor, which is very corroded as you can see from the pic below. Alas the motors are completely different so I whipped the other light off and the motor in that one is the same as the broken one on the right side. These motors are round with a flange that mates
with the same shaped support in the headlight. The one i was supplied and the one in Eper are rectangular.

I had a look on Eper and cant find the headlight that is fitted to my car there at all!!! Does anyone have any idea what car my headlight is out of?

On a side note the manual wind on the drivers side is knackered and the passenger side is a bit grubby looking inside, looks like it's had a lot of water in there so I've e-mailed Autolusso to get a price on set of xenon GTA lights. Not really looking FWD to the answer I have to say.

Would still like to know what these lights are out of though.

Cheers, Carty.

Disregard the part number bit on the thread above... It looked at first like it was an 8 no I see it's a 6!

Hi, me again

The rectangular motor is for halogen headlamps, the round motor is for xenon headlamps. They all have them.

I may have one of these motors somewhere in garage, I may even have complete wiring including the starter that is inside the headlamp so basically all electronics inside the unit. I just don't have the ballast that goes from the outside on the bottom of the unit.

Thanks Gotcha.

Looks like i'm gonna need a whole new light as the adjuster inside is broken, ie it won't manually adjust. Every thing else is working ok by the look of it.

Would you have a spare connector for the light laying around?

Cheers, Carty.

What connector? Some inside the headlamp? Conector to the ballast or adjuster motor? Or the big round connector connecting the headlamp to car wiring?

I will look what I have and take a picture. I am just not sure if its in some box in my or my parrents garage... I will find it.

The large round connector for the headlight, from the wire harness.

Here is what I have.

Its the wiring inside the headlamp, with the large round connector on the headlamp. If you mean the round connector coming from the car, this is coming from the main front wiring loom in the engine bay and your only chance to get it is from some crashed car when somebody would be willing to cut it off for you. I had one piece:
