Exclamation Projector in headlight loose

So I tried to adjust my headlights, halogen; found out that the projector part is just swinging. Any idea on how to fix? Do any of you have maybe a headlight taken apart that can take pictures? Am I just going to have to buy a new headlight?

if your unit is like those of the 210, the 'swinging' description isn't sounding too
good. they're gear driven and I hope the linkage hasn't fractured. pain in the tush

You're probably looking at replacement unless you want to do a DIY refurb job on it assuming you haven't damaged the gear system as Raymond pointed out. IMO time is money and it would be a lot less time consuming just to get a replacement.

FIXED it...

My bulb went out so I reached back to get to the wires, in doing so I bumped a mechanism (will post pictures later today). I pushed the mechanism in and turned the cover to lock in place. ALL GOOD. HAPPY CAMPER!!!!

The knob is on the attachment. That is what I had to push and turn-lock. How simple, ya.
