Tried replacing my nearside headlight today.

Couldn't get my hand in after removing all the plastic in the way.

any suggestions?

The rear of the head light was moving around all over the place. It was like it isn't attached to anything.

I've also had a few complaints of blinding drivers in front of me.

Please help thank you.

Hello leebob,

Can I point you in the direction of this post about water in the headlights with pictures of the headlamp assembly


Which has some photos of the bits you are dealing with.

You could remove the whole headlamp assembly, bumper off, two screws and a few clips to then get the lamp assembly free.
The rear of the head light was moving around all over the place. It was like it isn't attached to anything.
If you mean the access cover, its a common problem as people can't get their hands in to refit it correctly. Causes water in the headlights / fogging up problem affecting the internal levelling motor.
