If you're talking about the 3 long adjustable screws that mount the lights and then you turn them in or out to adjust the height.

I found a company in France that had them NOS.
It was about 5 years ago but if I can find that post I'll drop you a line in the off chance they still have them! :thumbs:

Yeah that’s them. Although I think there’s only 2 per light - for the inner spots. Vw heritage are out of stock. Thanks.

If you take them out and clean them up they work just fine.

There is a Hardware store that I go to that has the long oval headed metric bolts over here…

You Pry out the screw receivers that are in the plug.




Using Pliers to move one or 2 if the tabs in then pry them out.

Thanks Brian,
Managed to get them all out - one of the plastic retainers bust while pulling it out . It was mangled anyway so I need one replacement. Neither Vw heritage or classic vw have any. Anyone know where I could get one? Also quite keen to replace the ball headed screws with stainless steel ones. Would anyone know the thread? And/or where I could source them?

Thanks.

So did you sort this and manage to get hold of some replacements?
 
If yes where did you get them from as I cant find any replacements anywhere!?
