Is it dangerous to drive with this actuator faulty?

Yes, incorrectly aimed headlights either reduce your own visibility of the road or dazzle oncoming drivers — this is a genuine safety concern and should be repaired promptly.

Can this actuator be repaired instead of replaced?

In some cases a specialist can service the internal mechanism, but replacement is often more straightforward.

What is the actuator made of?

A small electric motor with a mechanical linkage to the reflector or lens.

I ordered a Heater Blower Motor Resistor for a Toyota Avensis. Delivery took eight days from Latvia to Ireland. I installed it, and everything works perfectly. I wish this company success.

No complaints about Evro Trans itself, everything's fine. But the delivery..... It felt like the order was being carried by turtles. 4 days from Riga to Daugavpils. Judging by the tracking, the parcel just sat somewhere behind a shed for 3 days, then they found it and delivered it the next day. I think that's why I won't be ordering there again.

Bought a front fender for my car. I liked it! After payment they sent more than 20 photos of the problem areas, and it was packed very securely - took a while to unwrap.
