Hi Tatey,
I sorted the headlight socket adapter this weekend. Basically I cut most of the socket away apart from 20mm from the top and left a spine of about 20mm from top to bottom of the socket. The bottom part where the 1/2" drive goes I didn't touch. The 20mm at the top I cut a slot in for the wires to pass through.
I tried it on mine and it works. You get a good half turn on the nut before you have to pull it down and get another bite on the nut....(that sounds wrong).....
I forgot to take a photo but will post one soon and all will become clear.
