From a thread on the europe forum of subaruforester.org the levelling motor sits just above the ballast and would more than likely need the unit to be dismantled to remove it as it needs to be disconnected from a ball joint on the inner moving element

Hi Don , cheers for the info , i’ve spoken to megazip who don’t seem to list a part, so i’m supposing only option is a new or used light neither of those options being very cheap

yes,of all the individual parts available the motor is not one of them.



You may find that the same motor is used in a facelift UK XT headlight............ might be worth looking out for a damaged one for a transplant.
