Hello Chris,
I found the steel on these screws rusts and they seize solid in the plastic
carrier piece (which is not now available). I replaced mine with stainless
steel screws and nuts, but great care is needed to remove the old screws. My
suggestion is to remove the complete headlight unit, carefully cut the screws
off level with the edge of the plastic (if that makes sense) and remove the
remainder by screwing out of the plastic in the other direction....... Because
rust increases the size of the screw any attempt to unscrew it means the
exposed screw breaks the plastic!
Good luck, Martin
p.s. Strangely my saloon needed a bit of adjustment at the last MOT to the left
headlight, although no adjustment or bulb replacement has ever been made? Maybe
tyre pressure?

Subject: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 Headlights Positioned too Low - MOT Failure
Hi.
So my car had failed its MOT as the front headlights are positioned too low.
They aren't even registering on the system they use to check.
Now, I don't know a lot about how it all works but I will try and describe it
the best I can.
On the back of the lights, are two screws, both lights have a screw at the
top-centre, the left light has a screw at the bottom-right and the right light
has a screw at the bottom-left.
Apparently these screws should be able to slightly adjust the position of the
light. When I turn them, nothing happens. I can physically move the light a
little bit in the upwards position but it isn't enough. I've applied WD-40 just
incase.
The guy at the MOT station said, as long as the screws actually do something,
that's fine, he'll be able to adjust the lights accordingly on the system they
use.
This is the only issue I have, once it's fixed, the car will pass the MOT!
Any ideas?
Thanks.
