Lighting - Headlamps Don't Match After Replacement


Lighting - Headlamps Don't Match After Replacement



SI M63 05 06



Lighting



December 2006



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.
