Headlight internals repairable/replaceable?

Postby Sprinter » Tue Jun 29, 2021 10:48 am

My wife's 2001 X100 (XKR) has a cracked projector lens in the driver's side (RHS) lamp, also the whole bulb holder subassembly moves when I work on the dip beam bulb. Maybe dislodged from the beam height adjuster?
Is it feasible to replace the bulb holder subassembly (assuming I could lay my hands on one)?

May be better to look at a complete replacement.

British Parts now have brand new headlight lenses for sale at £242 each. This is the front bit with the chrome and lens. To The Garage, John, does a great video on how to replace
