    My left headlight left/right adjustment seems to be brocken. Iam guessing that a replacemnt headlight is in order but thought I would ask if anyone has seen this and after removal of headlight been able to fix it? Thanks

    Check the tech section. Can be repaired with some Tamiya RC car diff gears.

    Yep, as others have said this is a good mod. Had help from the vic crew doing this at Jedi tech day 2 way back in the day. The gears can be quite tight to get onto the shaft, but it works great. Just take your time and get it right. As a slight trick (learnt from either zcar91 or IB I can't remember), while you have the headlights out, get the 8 bolts that hold the headlights to the car and cut grooves in them so that you can use a screwdriver to more easily put them back in (or take them out next time).

    Taking the thread on a slight detour, does anyone know the part numbers for the vertical adjusters? From memory they are small white bits of plastic. Mine has broken and my left headlight is now pointing into my front bar :-(

    The verticle adjusters can not be bought seperately from the adjuster units as far as I can tell.

    Low beam adjust unit 26022-40P11
    High beam adjust unit 26022-40P10
