Some time ago I replaced the left-hand-side H4 bulb and while pushing the connector in, I felt a disconcerting [pop] when the lever used to change the dip setting from left-/right-hand-traffic came off. Since then the beam aim has been catty-wompus. I've tried to push the peg of the lever back in its hole, but it always plops out again. Granted I've only tried this in situ and not with the whole headlight housing in my hands.

 

I'm wondering if anyone else has had faced this same issue and came up with a working fix.

I would suggest headlight out so you can have easier access to hold the stationary part whilst "popping" back in the other bit................unless offcourse there is room to do it in situ. My guess is its a little ball and socket arangement ?

Yes, though it's more like a plastic split pin in a hole in sheet metal, with a small lip of the pin supposed to keep it over the hole. Now that I think about it, I should probably try to wedge something into that split part to keep the pin from pulling out from the hole.
