What happened to my headlamp?

Post by Captain Jack »

Hi,

Yesterday, I noticed something odd with my headlamp - looks like the passenger side of is pushed in somehow. Neither clusters are loose so not sure why it's there or how long it's been like that.

Any ideas?

Might be but I tried pushing it in and it didn't seem to budge.

Poor accident repair or someone's driven into it while it's been parked? I hope not...

All the mountings on my D9's headlamps were broken they were held in place with Araldite :oops:

The car has been in my possession for nearly 4 years now and there were no accidents on it since I got it at least. Is the passenger side light that's too far in or the driver's side one that's too far out?

The top of the headlight appears to line perfectly with the bonnet, as does the left hand light so I would say the bumper has been squeezed - maybe from the side/corner and it's kinda bulging forward at the headlight.

Oh and please clean your car :P
