hey guys so i just bought a silvia front end and got the dual projector headlights. apparently one of the projectors must be broken because it just wobbles around. it wont stay put. i shook it a little and some plastic and metal peicces that looked like they had broken off of something fell out. i talked to the guy who sold it to me and he said you can fix it with hot glue. im not sure what to do to fix it though. has this happened to anyone? can anyone give me some advice. o and the aiming screws are all there and everything looks as it should except for the wobbling projector.

Hot glue? Metal?

Do you know what's broken?

Take apart the headlight and just drill new holes and bolt the projector back onto the bracket. That's what I'd probably do.

how would i take it apart. is there any way besides baking it. what would you guys suggest. o and by the way i figured out it is the thing that the aiming screw screws into that is broken. i thought about jb welding it back together if i can get it apart.

jb weld won't hold up

just retrofit =)

i decided to try mighty putty. and try to remake the small peices. so far it is looking ok. ill find out how it holds up in a few days once it fully dries. crossing my fingers.
