Technical Service
This Service Information bulletin supersedes S.M. M63 200 04 dated July 2002-2006.
SUBJECT
Headlamps no Longer Match after One Headlamp is Replaced
MODEL
R52 Cooper/Cooper S Cabrio
Produced March 10, 2002-2006 to May 16, 2002-2006
SITUATION
The customer has complained that the reflector in his replacement headlamp does not match the factory installed reflector in the second headlamp.
CAUSE
A different material for the reflector had to be used temporarily (titanium instead of aluminum) due to production problems at the headlamp supplier.
As a result, there is a minor difference in the appearance of the original headlamps when compared with the replacement headlamps.
