Q/L Headlight spin
 

[IT might sound like a non issue but I cant stand my 1650 looking all crooked eyed like it just got into fight. Just wondering what you guys have done to keep them eyeballs straight. I straighten em in their groove like I think they should be 5 minutes later google eyed

If the light is spinning in the grommet, there is a tank on the light that has to be lined up with the groove in the grommet. If the grommet is spinning in the panel, then about the only thing you can do is glue (use weatherstrip adhesive) it in place.

I have had them in those grooves they still come out .They seem loose. The grommets are just supposed to squeeze the light. No other parts involved. I thought I might be missing a clip, spring or something.

Nope. That's all there is to it. If they are spinning in the grommet, then weatherstrip adhesive the light to the grommet. That's about all the ideas I've got. :Huh:

Actually the grommet stays put and the light bulb spins. It seems the screen is moving ,vibrating quite a bit.

Yeah, that's what I said. The light bulb is spinning in the grommet. So.... glue it.

Thanks Jon for answering an iNsOMniAc. Its not a giant problem ,I know, just like things at right angles and hate using glue.

I hate my lights crooked too. None of them are, and if they get that way I fix them. I just don't have any that spin like your talking about. Oh, every now and again I have to straighten one. Like maybe once a year or something because it moved just a little and it bugs me. Only other thing would be replace the grommet.

I wonder if po doesn't have correct bulbs. I didn't look but I bet theres a number somewhere or dimension. This forum is so large I read for hours to find an answer. But I enjoy getting sidetracked

:bigthink:
Once you get the lights aligned, put a "touch" of hot glue between the bulb and grommet in couple of spots.
