Your headlight might be repairable. The projector xenon lights pointing down are usually because a ball joint inside the headlights popped loose from slamming the hood or hitting potholes. There are two and they can sometimes be popped back into place through the back cover without without taking the headlight apart.


Projector adjustment connected at 3 o'clock position looking into opening.


Projector adjustment popped loose at 9 o'clock position looking into opening.

You're the first one that has posted pictures good enough for me to understand!

The ball and socket have come apart, but I'm not sure how to put them back together without breaking them. Do I just push them together? Do I have to take off the snap ring, and if so, how in the world do you get it back on?

EDIT: Got it fixed, thanks so much!
