VW Electrics Square Headlights
Square Headlight inner adjusters
Cruz
Adjusters needed for each square inner light 1x 255-941-133A 2x 255-941-141B
You may or my not be aware but the headlight adjusters for the square inner main beam headlights are obsolete and the only source is to buy expensive reproductions from America which at my last reckoning was about £36 (gowesty) for adjusters for both inner lights not including any taxes or customs charges at this end which may apply
Having recently found a source of the obsolete 191-941-297 headlamp adjuster at eurocarparts I thought I'd have a look to see if an adjuster from another VW vehicle of that era would suffice and I came across adjusters from a Mk2 Golf (picture below)
Adjuster 191-941-133 is a perfect replacement for 255-941-141B
Adjuster 191-941-141 is just about 5mm shorter than 255-941-133A so the inner light will just sit that little bit lower than the dipped headlight unit in the grill but once you have had them aligned it shouldn't affect the functionality of the high beam.
The 141 adjuster has a slotted head and not a pozi drive head. But that is a small price to pay I say.
Tonight I tried the adjusters in my headlight frame and they fit the holes fine.
So onto the two sources for these parts.
Both adjusters are available from eurocarparts and eurowagens with free shipping. One is cheaper than the other.
For each inner light you need 2 x 191-941-141 and 1 x 191-941-133
Eurocarparts 191-941-133 @ £2.39 Eurocarparts number 470440331 191-941-144 @ £3.48 Eurocarparts number 470440341
Eurowagens 191-941-133 @ £1.49 191-941-141 @ £1.49
Eurowagens regularly do a set of 3 adjusters on ebay (a kit for each inner light) for £5.49 http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/eurowagensltd
So basically instead of £36+ you can get a set for the inner lights for less than a tenner
Hopefully people can follow this
