Hi all,

I was pushing my drivers side headlight assembly in today, after successfully rewiring everything with fat wire, and juicy relays... and of course, I made the mistake of pushing on the actual light, and not the metal housing... snap! The adjuster in the upper right is toast.

I will be going to my VW dealer tomorrow, located about 100 meters from my house (convienient) and will ask how much these little buggers cost. It is entirely possible, that here in Europe, they are much cheaper than in the states....

Anyway, I will get a price and tell you all in a day or two what I learn (maybe I can then go into business as a middle man distributer, and make my million selling Vanagon headlight adjusters to americans!!! Horray!!!)
