I got a problem. My headlights are aimed at the sky and the adjustment screws aren't working too well. What can I do to fix this problem? Can I remove them and re-install them pointing more towards the ground?

What kind of car?

There should be screws in the back or the front you screw to adjust them.

The car is a 91 240sx. I tried adjusting the lights with the adjusting screws but it's not working properly.

mine didn't work right either. Take apart your headlight housing and see what's up w/ the adjusting screwes. more than likely they're just off the guides.

Hey man I once had the same problem and the screws were loose I fixed the housing so that the screw would stay attached. Then I noticed that the headlight was upside down because one side was higher than the other when I inspected the part of the bulb housing where it said HELLA was upside down. I felt like an asswipe. Just my .02 cents.
