Default EURO LIGHTS HELP!!!!

ok guys i wanted to figure out why my 'flickering' was occuring.

now i didn not have the self leveling motor piece actually inside to the other off-white plastic piece/tube thing.

DOES THIS HAVE TO BE PLACED INSIDE?? if so, why the hell wont the self leveling motor piece "reach" into it!!??

what am i missing here!!?

Default yep! but is the self leveling piece supposed to "fit" into that other piece?

sorry for the vague terms, but for peeps who have done this might be able to understand me...

flip the headlight so it faces up and shake it. That should bring the bulb housinf closer to it

Default i tried every freakin way to get this piece in...and it just wont go...

i flipped it upside down, tried to pull the reflector part closer to the pin, but i just cannot get it ANY closer!

this sucks, esp when i just cannot get it to reach!

Default Re: EURO LIGHTS HELP!!!! if you're in SoCal I can help you fix it.

if you are located in SoCal, I can help you do it if you want. I just did my euros last week and I know how much of a pain it can be to get the self-leveling arm back into the slot.

Default it is the most difficult part of the procedure...

it took me a good amount of time to fenagle the units so i could snap them back in.

read what the tech article hear at Audiworld has to say about it. i recall that helped me.
