 The
lamp in question is the lower circular one pictured on the left!
To gain access to its mountings you
must remove the road wheel (after obviously jacking the car up). A ramp would be
preferable to do this, than a trolley jack. Then remove the Carbon Fibre wheel
arch liner (this has 4 bolts easily visible to remove and 3 self tapping screws
that locate at the front of the liner from below and the rear. On my car the
heads on these a act as water collectors for moisture to drip off. As they were
rusty, I replaced them with Stainless steel versions.
 The
lamp itself was bought from Demon Tweeks (01978 663054) and cost £66.78 with
postage (Part number HEL191007 - Universal 900mm Headlamp Main with Sidelight).
Interestingly this same unit is found on Le Man Lolas. Pictured left are the
lamps fitted to a 230mph race car!
 Here is a picture
of the replacement Hella fitting. You get a new Lamp with 3 locating pins and
3 plastic locating cups.
 The
light is located behind this wheel arch liner, which has to be removed to gain
access.
Once removed you can see the
light in situ. It has two individual electrical connectors, one for the main
light behind the plastic shroud and one for the sidelight. Remove the
connectors.
To actually remove the light
unit you must remove 3 plastic locating cups and the only way I achieved this
was to use a utensil to break them allowing the pins to be withdrawn out. You
can't see them in the picture but they are inserted into the aluminium square
you can see in front of the new unit! Don't be suckered into thinking you can
remove the unit by unscrewing the long bolts - these are purely for adjusting
the way the light points, nothing more 9and yes I was that sucker).
Once this was done. Assemble the
new light before fitting, use the old one has a pattern to ensure the pins are
screwed in to the same length. Then fit the new locating cups. The problem now
is to push the new unit into the cups. Fairy Liquid provided the lubricant, this
was after trying grease and other substances with no luck.
Once fitted adjust the light by
turning the pins which pulls the light in and out as required. Then reassemble
the wiring, refit the liner and road wheel. It took me a good 2 hours only
because the removal of the old unit was a pain ( I didn't understand the
mechanics of it) and then the refit wasn't much better! |
