S13 pop-up headlight HELP

[MikeYeeS13]

Ok, I just got a S13 yesterday, it's in mint condition too.

First off, I need to know how to adjust where the headlights aim. They are way off and not safe to drive at night (that bad). The driver's one is in the middle of the road; and the passenger's one is off in it's own world.

And, the passenger headlight is acting funny when I first turn them on. It will open right away, but when it does; it has a seizure or somthing, it doesn't shake, but it makes a funny tick tick tick sound and you can feel it if you touch the headlight. It only does this for like the 1st 5 seconds. And when the lights are really on and I'm not just moving them without light, when it has this "seizure" the light flickers.

Please, help me out!I want to do the s13 JDM conversion but not this soon!

If you take off the black covers around the lights(I think you have to remove these), there should be two adjust screws for the lights.

no don't take off the black covers. Pop up your headights. You will see two screws. If you are looking at the drivers side, there will be a screw above the headlight, and to the right (when you are looking straight at it). Same for the other headlight, except it's above the headlight, and to the left.

No need to take off the black cover.

Yeah I couldn't remember if you had to take those off or not, and was too lazy this morning to go look.

I was able to striaghten out the headlight position, but, now there is an even bigger problem....My parking lights and dash board will not light up. I changed stereo head units today, and when it got dark out, I noticed my das gauges wont light up, also the parking lights. The brake and reverse and headlights are good though. I checked fuses vissually, but whats going on here?
