    UPDATE 20th July:
    This problem has been solved with the help of the shop owner in Russia.
    Thanks all.


    Well I hope so.

    I need help from a reader in Russia.
    The nasty human beings that sold me my lights did not include both sets of mounting screws, only one, so I must get another set for my R4 project

    Please everyone do not send me links to the fittings for the US version, they do not fit.
    There is a store in Moscow that sells the correct adjustment/mounting bolts and there is none other on planet Earth that I can find.

    I cannot direct buy from this shop, first of all they will not ship to Thailand and their credit card merchant facility does not allow foreign cards.

    I need a nice Russian person to buy 3 sets (a set is 3 screws and the other parts) of these and post them to me. I can pay you with Western Union or some other method that works for you.

    Then I can mount both headlights not just one.

    Please :)

    Normally they use 2 adjuster's (1x up down, and 1x left /right) and one that is fixed length

    The fixed length version is for OEM cars and some other kit lights that I cannot recall. There are Chinese made ones like that. Mine are "Hella 90mm Performance" and I like the full adjustment because it means I can move the lights forward and back in the recess. Sorry if I was not clear, a set is three screws and the other parts.

    Yeah i know the one's.
    They are pretty rare, i've only seen them used in 2 type's of car's in the last 32 year's

    Mine are used adjuster's off Hella light's, i'm just in the process of taking them off now

    If they're the same i can get you a price for brand new one's on monday

    Thanks for your help. Mine fit a 17mm hole. The American ones, as I recall, are 14mm.

    This is the adjuster's i have they are off a Hella projector headlamp
    There is 2 style's of the 2 tab retainer's, one goes in from the lense side (top black one in bottom pic) the other from the back (white one, 2nd down in bottom pic)
    I'm guessing you'd need the black type
    The hex head on the other end would be removeable as it's plastic
    Length from end of ball to beginning of plastic thread is 55mm, thread length is 45mm (may be longer inside the plastic hex section)
    The ball retainer's have a 14mm o/d cup, so i might be able to find some bigger one's in the next couple of day's

    Those are the wrong parts. I already bought those and they do not fit. All I know is that mine are Hella 90mm Performance and the Russian shop has the correct parts.

    I do not live in Russia, but in Europe.
    The site does not carry an other language than Russian, not easy.
    Tried with Google Translate.
    Came pretty far, but:
    The site says: PayPal.
    But with checking out: no PayPal

    Same with shipping. No way to get that into Translate.

    So, I did sent them an email, in Englisch. Let's hope.

    I have been in regular contact with the owner. They do not offer PayPal and there are restrictions in international credit card transactions. The cause of all those problems might have more to do with politics than the owner of the business. We are trying to work something out and one of the forum members has offered to help. Just waiting now.
