I haven't driven the car for a few weeks and was getting round to changing the bulb, but me being lazy and strapped for time, asked them to replace it.

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

Afternoon all, I took my car into to be MOT tested today, knowing that the front nearside indicator was not working. I haven't driven the car for a few weeks and was getting round to changing the bulb, but me being lazy and strapped for time, asked them to replace it. Apparantley the entire front nearside headlight unit needs replacing, as the "pins are bent at the back"? I will take the headlight out and investigate this wknd, just wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem?.....The garage (an indy) reckon that I will need a whole new headlight unit....any thoughts appreciated

POST 2Original post

The connector sockets in the body have a tendency to pop out their mounting bracket very occasionally, but it doesn't normally damage the pins. It sounds like someone has tried to fit the light unit with the connector out of position. If you need a new light unit, try one of the specialist breakers like Porsch-Apart. A new one is £630 from an OPC.
