I pulled mine out, and now can't put the bastard things back in. Spare screws everywhere, no apparent holes for screws to go in to support / hold the headlight properly in place.....


Post 93 Tdi Defender (I think TD5 is the same)


Even a link to the appropriate page in the manual would be great.


Thanks.

I know, right, Pat !
I'd have thought it would be simple.
Sadly the screws removed are all different and its clear that at some point a previous owner has 'got at it'. I mean what in blazes is a galvanized self tapping wood screw doing in there eh! :lol2:


Dervish unfortunately that's the -1993 arrangement. Post 93 is different (mine's a 95)
