Bitumen Boy Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 I don't honestly believe the adjusters ever did work. Nice idea but a little beyond the technology of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobPearce Posted July 8, 2017 Share Posted July 8, 2017 My brother's Acclaim definitely had working headlamp adjusters. They weren't especially useful but they worked. Mind you, that was 20 some years ago when the car was only 10 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John54 Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 Thanks - I thought it was just my inability to make them work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferny Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 They should work. And mine did, until they got tickled with a death disc... I had a go at repair and refill but it didn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
logicaluk Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 If you turn the knob and it feels springy the the fault is normaly the acuator under the headlamp has seized, it is possible to free them off, dont try taking ghem off tbe bracket but remove it from the car and see if it wants to move, careful what you spray on it is rubber safe and when you get it moving pack it around with red rubber grease.Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
