Focus Headlight problem.

[Glenosaint]

Morning peeps my 10 plate now needs a new headlight....but was wondering why do they suddenly seem to adjust themselves and are way out of alignment.

I had new bulbs fitted recently and all was fine...even checked them against a wall...then one headlight went pear shaped and I can't adjust low enough as it's gone down as far as it can...hence needing a new headlight...any reason why this has happened.....everything is where it should be ....cheers Glen.

it may be the beam pattern of the bulb and not the headlight

I was in a similar position a while back due to irrepairable damage. The one I plumped for was off eBay just like this one now currently advertised.

It's not a Ford part, so not an exact match. Some parts inside the assembly are a slightly different shape and/or colour, but you need to be really fussy to spot the difference once it is installed. It's considerably more than one from a scrap yard, but less than from over a Ford counter. You pays your money and takes your choice.
