need help with H4 Headlight

[diveroger]

I'm missing something that the headlight adjusting screw goes into. The Porsche dealer doesn't have any idea, either does Pelican. Can anyone please help?

This is how a new Euro H4 looks from the back:

The area you are interested is probably this one:

You are missing two parts.
One is like a nut and the other is like a rubber tube.
I think those are not sold separately, the best bet would be to post a wtb in the parts classifieds.

Here pictures of the adjusting mechanism



and of one of the parts, the one that is like a nut. I do not have a picture of the rubber tube.

Looks the same as an early VW bug. Probably easier and less expensive to find parts that way. I work in a VW shop. I might be able to find something. It would be used though.

As mentioned by vw_sale, these parts are also used on Beetles.
You can get a complete hardware kit from many vendors, here's one from CIP

It would be very easy to fabricate one if you have the correct size tap. It is just a threaded piece.
Or place and ad in the parts classifieds, most probably somebody will give it to you for free. Unfortunately I do not have any left. The rubber part is easy, you only need a rubber tube or a solid rubber part that fits the hole and you just drill a small hole in it and that's it.

I'm thinking that is what I will do, thought I would hit the local Ace Hardware tomorrow.

That rubber piece fell apart on one of my headlights. I ended up getting a rubber cork from lowes in the hardware section. Drilled a hole through the cork then used a raiser blade to cut it down so that it would barely fit into the hole. It looks pretty rough but it works.
