Hi all,
The Spyker C8 (Karmann only) some common issues, one of them is the highbeam actuator to fail, this is hardly noticed until you bring your car to a MOT. What happens over time is that the actuators that control the high beam flaps get stuck. Apparently the Spyker engineers never had the idea that this would happen, so they didn’t make these actuators replaceable.
Finally I figured out a way to refurbish the headlights, one needs to reparate the headlight glass from the body. This is glued to eachother and the headlight glass will probably break if you are not carefull. When you have separated the parts you can access the actuators and replace them.
I have seen this issue now on multiple Karmann C8’s and would advise to check yours.
When you are not sure you are able to do this procedure one needs to replace the complete headlight or ship it to me, so I can refurbish them for you !
