Unfortunetly the *******s know this is a problem with the 03 STR but will not do a recal on them. It is a safety issue. But they make a fortune on the repair because from what I have read its a little plastic piece that keeps breaking.

These links point to different solutions:

You can also block the movement of the headlight internals with the plastic hose which is on top of the assembly by fitting it inside.

I repaired mine with the aluminium block, they were fixed position unitl now but recently Jag have cleared the error fault on the motors and it works perfect.

Same problem here. The little ball was broken off of the leveling slide. I took the lens off of the assembly and made a new piece out of nylon exactly like the old one. Everything works just like stock except I'm sure it will last way longer!! Headlights are not covered by the SE warranty. I called Jaguar.

Does anyone know where I could get a Factory Service Manual for problems like these? Mine aren't broken but could use some adjusting.
