Im still doing all my own mods, this in the most recent one,

As we all know the headlight adjusters on the zeds are pants, having seen other threads re how to fix, this is my input

The main adjusters are plastic and usually have snapped, making it hard to adjust the lights

These are my driving lights adjusters, there are 2 adjusters to control up/down and left/right on each light,

firstly remove the 2 screws to access the diff gears

Once removed, using a flat blade screwdriver, prise the diff gear off both the light and the one in the plastic housing where the 2 screws were.

 

Using this kit, a Tamiya r/c diff kit item number 50602, using the two larger metal gears only, replace them where the plastic ones were, i found using a 12mm socket and a hammer, gently tap onto the shafts, its a tight fit but it does go on. You have to do both in metal as the old plastic ones wont work with metal ones.

Do both the rear of the light and the shaft

 

These took me less than 15 mins to do each light, the gears are metal and work perfectly, i used a bit of silicone spray on the threads to assist using the adjusters

Each pack of gears has two metal gears, i needed a total of 4 packs to complete both sets of lights.

 

The end result.

 

This cost me less than £20 to do for both lights, While the light were off, i resprayed the metal black that secures the glass rubber, and sealed the glass with some black silicone.

 

A cheap and easy fix to sort your headlights out, give it a try.

 

Huge thanks to Dan at DTA for sourcing the bits, kept me informed and updated. Cheers mate.
