I finally had all of my custom headlight stuff basically finished and installed, but they were aimed a little bit too low. I popped the hood and adjusted the first one fine, but on the second one, it was almost perfect, then it just drooped down to a few feen in front of the car (yes, this was very sad lol). I tried turning the adjustment screw again, but nothing happened. I see that there is a large "hex head" sort of thing in the back of the headlight... can you take this off? Does anyone know a good way to fix this? I would rather not have to bake my lights to open them to fix this. Any ideas?

if you tighten the adjustment bolt so that the entire screw goes back in, it SHOULD reconnect/rethread itself back to the headlight inner casing.

if u put projectors in there.... i cant guarantee it'll work tho because the projos weigh heavier than the adjustment screw can handle (in most cases)

good luck :) (mine dont work anymore on my drivers side lol) on a side note, my passenger side is angled up by support of those lil bracket/wall things u get inside a fishing tackle box lololol figured i'd get a laugh while im posting tonight :)

Thanks, I figured I would try to run it all the way back in and hope for the best, but I don't know if that is going to work haha... and yes, I have projectors, so I may have to do something like you did on yours.
