Headlights on 2003.5 Sedan
Headlights on 2003.5 Sedan
Has anyone had any problems with the headlights moving, when you press on them? My driver’s side moves about 1/8" when the hood is closed, and 1" when open. (But it does not move when driving?)
The dealer wanted $893 to fix, and would not pass my vehicle inspection. What crooks!!!
They claim it was not cover under warranty, but there is no way it’s loose because of someone/thing hitting it. I think whatever secured it failed.

BTW - My local mechanic, passed my inspection without a problem, since the ligths were not misaligned, and they worked!!!

I thought they were. Now I have a totally different opinion of them!! What makes it crazy, it that they knew about it before my warranty expired on March 31, 2007!

You are so right!!
Now that it's out of warranty, I guess I will do the repairs myself from now on.

If it is the tab that is broken you can use an "L" bracket to make a new one.

Good luck
