ILL GIVE IT A GO.

1.WHEEL COMES OFF
2.INNER FENDER WELL COMES OUT, SCREWS/POP OUT PLUGS ECT.PAIN IN THE ASS, WATCH YOU DONT SCRATCH INNER FENDER PAINT LIP WHEN REMOVING.
3. REMEMBER if its the pass head lite, horns,canister and other junk has to be moved over then come , i think 3 sets of set screws , DONT ADJUST THE ADJUSTMENT SCREWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! all screws go through metal brackets.
4.HAVING FUN YET? :biggrin
5. HEADLIGHT COMES OUT COMPLETE AS FULL UNIT. REALY NOTHING TO SERVICE, IF SHUTTER LIGHT IS OUT , SO MANY SEALED PARTS , COMPLETE UNIT IS THE WAY.
6. AFTER THAT REMEMBER YOU NEED THE PUSH IN PLASTIC PLUGS"NEW" FOR REINSTALL OF INNER FENDER.
ENJOY GTJOEY :thumbsup

The trick to pulling the wheel liners out is to push up and inboard in the center - then start working the bottom free of the fender. Like GTJOEY mentioned be real careful of the fender lip-the aluminum bends extremely easy. I recommend using two people-one to push up and in and the other to watch the ender lip and work the liner clear of the fender.

After All This Does The Lite Work Now?

 

[Pete S.]

Adjustment only.

Front Headlamp Adjustment:

Mine were pointed a bit too much down for reasonable night driving, so I opened up the shop manual, around page 417-01-63 to see what was involved. I read through it several times, and also read section 501-02-5 as directed for removing the fender splash shields.

No problem. Remove the front splitter. Raise one wheel, remove the wheel, remove the splash shield, replace the wheel, and repeat for the other side. I could see the adjuster but it was facing the center of the car. Then I noticed the two circle cutouts easily accessible when popping the front hood.

Putting everything back together was easier than taking apart, but I had to mention this so no one else need go through this added effort. However, get a few extra plastic pins and rivets part numbers W705589-S and N803946-S as some may snap or be excessively worn and should be replaced.

The rest of the adjustment is standard set up at about 25 feet target, use the #6 Allen or Bondus and it’s a piece of cake. Photo included.

Good job and nice write-up

I had to edit my post as I was sleeping on the job when I read it; I did not recognize that you did in fact present the short cut..................... after some sleep tonight I will be back in the saddle again; thank you

All the best

Great info, Pete. Thanks!
('Sure hope Lewke sees it.)

Thank you Pete for this procedure. I wonder why the shop manual takes us the long way around. Also, a question for you. I just went out in the garage and looked at the opening, and I see the adjustment screw. Does this adjust the headlamp in the vertical position only? How is the horizontal adjustment made? Just curious, thanks.

Some of us will recognize this hole as the hook placement for the Speelingerie bra.
