Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

3 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was driving at Lime Rock this weekend when my driver's side headlight unit launched itself out and bounced off the left front fender and (fortunately) into the weeds, avoiding the car behind me. I had recently had the car in for service and had a bulb replaced. I have MANY track miles on the car, and have never before had this problem, or seen anyone else have this happen. I then checked the passenger's side light and found it was also loose. Has anyone else had the headlights come loose like this?!

POST 2Original post

Sounds like it's time to have a few words with your mechanic... (And you might want to check anything else they laid a hand on.)

POST 3Original post

It is fairly easy to lock the headlight unit OUT of its tracks and to not notice it. If the mechanic was paying any attention, he would have noticed that it was unlocked. Get your dealer to buy you a new one.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
