Abstract
The damaged adjustor mounting tab on a headlight lens assembly is repaired by cutting away a sufficient portion of the old tab to allow an L-shaped replacement adjustor tab bracket to be installed and have the adjustor block mounted in the slot of the vertical leg of the replacement bracket. Holes are drilled into the rear housing section of the lens assembly to receive mounting bolts for connecting the horizontal leg of the replacement mounting bracket.
