If the upper headlight retaining tab -1-, the outer headlight retain‐
ing tab -2- or the lower headlight retaining tab -3- is damaged or
has broken off, it can be replaced by installing the repair kit. There
is no need to renew the entire headlight.
Note

Check that there is no further damage to the headlight that
would make installation of the repair kit unnecessary.

Each repair kit includes the upper, the outer and the lower
headlight retaining tabs, four screws, a panel nut (already fit‐
ted on the upper retaining tab), adjustment bushes (one each
