Buzzing noise from offside headlamp

concrete · Aug 2nd, 2020, 21:17

Evening all. I did try posting this in the XC70 part of the forum, but I had a banner telling me I couldn’t access that part of the forum. As the title suggests, I’ve got a whirring/buzzing noise from part of the headlamp assembly. I’ve photographed the offending part and I’m certain someone on here will be able to tell me what it is. It also vibrates whilst it’s buzzing. It’s not the part with the wires coming out of it, it’s the part below with what looks like a nut and washer on it.

That’s the headlight level adjuster; sounds like it’s not settling in one position. Is it Xenon HID lights with self levelling or do you have the headlight level adjuster in the cabin?

Self levelling xenon lights. I gave it a wiggle and and the buzzing stopped, but doubt that’s cured it. Can that part be replaced or is it a complete headlight unit?

Wrap some string under it to take up the slack, that will shut it up.
