Mazda 323 Series 3 Headlights (Disassembled!)

Hi peeps,

Today I was pulling apart the old broken headlight casings to test fit wirings for HID installations (using oem wiring from other broken headlights to make a oem looking HID kit, not cutting of the backing required like regular aftermarket HID kits). Found something very interesting on the low beam reflector.

Normal

Up

I'm guessing it is for the LHD markets to stop the little left side kick the Aussie headlights have. It actually has a little axle and a metal clip to hold it all in place once you have selected the desired point.

Also noted that is has a flat bar running accross the centre of the reflector. Whats it do?

And oops! Guess they get as hot as regular halogens.
