RizzleKicks Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Evening Folks I currently have a 2004 Freelander , I went to change the H7 bulb that had blown , now I got the cover off and when I went to unclip the metal spring that holds the bulb in place it came away from the body of the lamp broke off. Such a poor design now what can I use to hold the bulb in place ? Regards, RizzleKicks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Not sure about the freelander, but a lot of headlamps are like this, you just have to clip the clip back in place. Does it look broken? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RizzleKicks Posted January 20, 2019 Author Share Posted January 20, 2019 The plastic hinge is part of the headlamp and after time becomes brittle and snapped off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RizzleKicks Posted February 24, 2019 Author Share Posted February 24, 2019 I have attached a couple of images to help with what I’m saying. Now I’m having issues with keeping the bulb in place since the retaining plastic clip has snapped off from the headlamp. I have circled it in red to show the problem & the image below shows how it should look like. Can anyone advise how else I can hold the bulb in place , cheers.

Bowie69 Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Seems to me like a washer under that screw would do the job? Fit the clip before fitting the washer/screw of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
