As you might have seen with my other post, my headlights busted recently on my Elan +2. The bolt holding the metal bar going across both headlights snapped off. So I got a new one, tapped out the old one, and put it all back together like I thought it should be.
Now the headlights are fully up with lots of pressure. I can push them down flush, but it seems like a lot more effort than it should be. Before the bolt broke, the headlights were just kinda mushy and halfway up, but could be pushed down or pulled up without problem.
Did I maybe put the springs on backwards? They just seem to have way more spring up than engine vacuum could hold back down.
How much 'up force' should they have when the car is off / hasn't been driven for a long time?
Thanks!
