robbyvrs Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Has anyone had their headlights changed under warranty due to the tabs (the one holding the bolt fixing to the top of the slam panel) breaking off? Both of mine have broken off which means when pushing the light in the corner above the grille they move about, i've read on a FB page about others having the same problem but was checking to see just how many owners have had this issue.

Mavroz Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 7 months in and no breaks. How do people manage to break the headlight mounting arms? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.harv Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Mine was broke from brand new, the lug was snapped clean off - sounds like a common fault! Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to some owners who've had this problem there was a faulty batch, 1 dealer told me some of the rear lights crack as well due to brittle plastics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mavroz Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 You will be lucky if they still have the old ones. They will more than likely have been disposed of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
