Silly but frustrating question - headlights

[savagE]

Sappening,
alright I have one parkers globe that needs replacing but buggered if I know how to get the bastard out, I have taken out the plastic type of lid at the back of the headlight but it won't budge. Also, is the inside of the headlight supposed to be able to move up and down cause mine does? 8)

Also the headlight and indicator don't stay where they are supposed to, they keep on falling down onto the bumper? is there some screw or something I am missing and mean't to be glued as such?


Sorry, it must be a ***** to imagine without pics, I will try and get some pics up if requested.

I don't have to unhinge/unclip the headlight glass do I??? looks nasty and breakable....

nah mate. you dont have to take the glass off. Take the plastic cap off as you seem to have done. There is a spring clip that holds the globe assembly in, unclip then remove globe assy then replace your parker. Then as all good Gregory's manuals say, Installation is the reverse procedure.
You light assembly shouldn't move. Check the screws. 2 on the outer side and 1 on the inner. The 2 on the outer are in behind the indicator. The indicator itself is only held in by the spring.
I hope this helps.
Cheers Darren
