hi,

does anyone know what the green tube is for that connects to the the main beam adjuster? I've had to change a headlight and struggled to get this tube off. I ended up cutting it. It appeared to be a solid tube, i was expecting it to contain fluid of some sort

It did contain fluid once, but won't have for many years. This is one of two hydraulic tubes from the headlamp aim adjuster just above the driver's right thigh. They were very unreliable, and a working set these days is as rare as a four door 325 genuine Sport.
