That's because there is no Adjuster or Pivot Piece on the Bottom Outside of
the Low Beam.

Top Outside Adjuster Assembly:

A few years back I pushed through the project to have all of the adjusters
to be reproduced by Airhead/VWG because.Volkswagen started obsoleting them
and have been very popular with the Vanagon crowd.  In addition to retail
sales, they provide them to the well-known Vanagon parts vendors.  Even the
dealer 2 blocks down the street buys them.

In addition to Van Cafe, I take several tech calls a week involving these
adjuster pieces.

As far as used pieces are concerned, forget it.  It's not so much they've
been cannibalized, the nylon piece(s) have become so brittle with age they
become worthless trash.
