    TLDR : When you wiggle the headlight bulb the whole reflector moves .


    So ,

    Do it yourself they said, it'll be fine they said , it's easy enough they said , you'll find a link on Youtube that you can follow they said .

    And to be fair they were right for the most part . The old headlight were knackered so I bought two new ones from TopPart . Found a tutorial on youtube and went about fitting them . I wouldn't go so far as to say easy but it was doable .

    Heading back for the retest this morning so over I go to the mechanic to get the lights aligned and he can't align the driver side one because it won't align . If you wiggle the headlight bulb the whole reflector moves . He said it would only ajust up and wouldn't adjust down . They didn't have time to have a look at it there and then but said maybe if I took it off and had a look inside myself I might see .....? I don't know .

    If its a new headlight & not something you broke while fitting it - launch it back to Toppart.
