Based on PET, the whole assembly is one part, and you can buy it like this from the regular suppliers.




Isn’t it possible to find the smallest connection and screw it in the damaged white plastic holder with glue.
The other end contains a bolt that you can unscrew and then put the plastic axe with the ball.

You need two of 928 631 201 02. You then remove the actuator, and the part fits in its place, and attaches at the other end with the ball-cup arrangement like the dumbell on the actuator. I fitted them to my 89 about a decade ago.

Pic from PET - its item no. 6

The previous owner of my 89 S4 mounted this factory part to keep the headlight stuck up, is there a way to regulate them to point a bit lower?
I rarely use the car at night but when I do is generally fully loaded with wife kid and luggage and now that i installed the woodypeck led lights i am afraid I might be blinding other drivers cause i see the lights are quite high
