signal light issue - front

[bwestfall]

I think others must have run into this. Both front signal lights have gone on the fritz!

When you take out the bulb and look at the contact points in the headlight housing, you can see that the contacts have been arcing and result in the actual contact getting a hole worn in it.s

As a fix, we soldered leads onto the bulb holder, pulled the contact points out of the headlight and soldered the wires to to the leads as well - giving enough length to be able to remove the bulb holder and replace bulbs are requirred.

Just a quick fix if you are having the same problem

I think this can be caused by the headlight carriage loosening, allowing for movement. The next time you remove the headlight assembly, check the bolts on the front of the carriage. I believe they are 10mm. They are frequently loose. If you tighten these up, even with a little blue Lock-Tite, it should help the problem. It certainly helped for me!

yup - already tightened. The kicker was, unable to re-order contact from dealer, and could not find at a wrecker, only other option was to try direct from valeo in spain,

but this worked and was way cheaper!
