my drivers side headlight has started playin up, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt, and when it does work it can be crappy, nothin wrong with the bulb but the metal clip that closes on the bulb looks like its burnt at the end and because of that doesnt shut on the bulb properly, anyone experienced it? any quick fix without buyin a new headlight?

cheers

i've had problems in the last week with the female crimp it has on it, changed the bulb (which has a male crimp) and it now works.

i had a bit of a problem when i changed my bulbs, the clamp thing was bent and twisted, as was the catch it locates in. i thought i'd solved it, but when drivng, the earth was breaking under the viration, making the lamp flicker. i just adjusted both with my pliers and not had a problem since!

If your talking about the metal clip that holds the bulb in place,you should bent it a bit towards inside and should hold propper then !

right iv started the bending and the headlight is staying on now, but it seems to be pointing towards the right of the car instead of straight on, reckon its cos only one side of the clip is in place, gonna get some clips tomorrow and see if i can sort it, thanks for the reply's
