I just recently bought the black housing headlights from eBay, and tried purring in the drivers side headlight and it did not fit because of the h22a alternator. The housing/mount for the headlight is a little fatter than the stock headlight and it touches the alternator and belt. My dad says I can adjust the alternator to make it sit a little lower so the new headlight will barely fit. He said all I need to do is move the alternator down a little and get new alternator belt. Is he correct? Or am I going to have to sell these new headlights and put my stock headlights back on?

 

Yes you can do that just get a shorter belt of the same width

Or try trimming down the headligjt bracket with a dremel

^^there are also alternator relocation brackets available. ^^

 

i had the same problem with my swap...so what i did was a combination of both lower the alternator has much has i can and the cut a lilttle bit off the headlight it wont effect anything on your headlight and left a gap enough for it to clear....

 

get this bracket it looks so much better and saves alot of space... i've had friends cut their headlight and then find out about this bracket and then they end up buy n new head lights...
