Title: Details needed on headlamp assembly...
Post by: Sodium Duck on July 09, 2012, 10:21:15 pm
I noticed my headlights were in rough shape. One side, the adjuster screw was all messed up and the headlight was crooked. So I went ahead and ordered some replacement headlamps that convert it to a reflector housing and bulb.

Problem is I'm not sure if either side is assembled right. One side has a spring holding the bottom of the headlamp in place and an adjuster screw... other side just has two adjuster screws. Neither really look right. What's the right way to install these?

Surprisingly, my local car parts store had some brand new adjuster screws, so I bought them all up. I have 4 in total. Could shop around and see if I can get more if needed.

Your 85 K10 should have one spring (bottom inside corner) and two adj screws (one at top-center and one at outside edge-center) per headlamp.  When one adjuster breaks, the others are usually not far behind.
