I haven't fitted them yet but holding the replacement gears up to a brand new headlight both gears look right.Shoppinit wrote:You tried this yet?

Its all about holding the spindle from pushing into the lamp unit.
If you slide it in and out you'll see the mirror move back and forward.
You'll be struggling to push anything on with any force and keep the spindle from being pushed into the unit.
Get some meccano, man!
You can turn it with your fingers instead of using the daft 90deg gearing system.
