Projectors pop out of line

[lambo6]

I have a 6, and I wanted to know has anyone had there stock low beam projector pop out of line where its not fully in the housing and does it affect the raise and lowering of the beams that Mazda built for it? Just happened today ftl...

happen to me... I dropped it when it was off the car, epic fail, BUT its not the end of the world, it poped right back into place when I pushed on it

The bad news is, you have to open the housing and take it apart to do that, its not as hard as it sounds its just time consuming, I used a blow dryer and a flat head screw driver to open the headlight, dont forget to remove the turn signal bulb and bulb holder before you start, or you'll break it off inside the housing if you try to seporate them while its still in place

how did you reseal your headlight? i need to do this

[Coaststarlight]

Same way you open them, Heat from a blow dryer or heat gun

Heat gun may be faster but easy to mess up and warp the housing, its a time taking proccess ether way so I'd choose blow dryer, heat, press together, repeat till you have gone all the way around the headlight and done


when prying it open use a flat head screw driver to help, dont pry to hard or you'll break it, just remember, be very genorous with the heating, the more time you spend heating, the less you have to pry and risk cracking it, take you time, you'll be at it a while anyway

I adjusted one of my projectors too far and it popped cross eyed. I need to take the light apart... Perfect time for a retro!

Told ya Mike, you had to opened it up, pop in, reseal. 200 degrees preheated oven for 10 minutes, pull apart, fix, reinstall!
