Hello guys,
do any of you know where I can find the little part that block the arm that gets the pop up heads lights up and and down to the motor? I'm certainly not clear in my description lol, but here is a picture:

And picture from higher up to locate it...

It's round and white and locks the arm in place...
If anyone had an ebay link or something to it. Or if you have for sale, I'd take it too. I can only pay via Paypal though... I really can't find one :(

This guy from rx7club has been making sets with quite good feedback. Sells them on ebay :D He also does some for the windscreen wiper

Man, this is awesome! So tiring to put back my left light back up manually every two days haha :)
Ordered! It was really impossible to find a set until now

Attention don't forget to Polish the rusty ball pivot, cause that's the matter you lost your old plastic bearing.

Yes, he does, and I'll make sure to polish it before putting the spare one in place :)

Just received them and they are a perfect fit!
Really happy with my purchase. We'll see how they last now :)

Any pictures of your polished work? You take some grease against new rust?

Night time here so no pictures right now... I just paper sanded it, nothing special. And no, no grease. I have 3 spares now anyway so we'll see how it goes :)
