6R halogen headlights into 6C match edition

Post by Fat »

Long story short

Mot due soon, adjuster is f****d in one of the headlights can't get a decent beam patern

Got older 6R headlights of a 2010 plate polo, pretty sure it'll be a straight swap since the 2017 plate I have is just halogen bulbs no LED's. Just a temporary botch to get through MOT as I've not got the money to buy another headlight right now (rear brakes more important lmao)

Just wanted any advice if anyone has f****d around switching headlights around and what to expect (eg wiring and plugs).

depending on the cause of looseness, you can perhaps just click it back in place?
