Headlights adjustment, I think mine is screwy Options

[NaKeD]

Hi guys,
After reading the previous posts on adjusting the headlights i notice mine wasn't high enough, so today i went out and adjust it to make it higher and more to the side. The right hand side headlights turned out great.

As i start twisting the left headlights it went up slowly, all of a sudden it just drop down all the way to the bottom even worst than it started. After that, which ever way i twisted the screw won't work, it won't go up or down . I know you can twist it to a point where it just stops, i didn't know it just stuffed the whole thing up.

HELP!

you'll need to remove it from the car probably mate, they have a little ball and socket type thing inside and also those 2 screw pieces. My Ball had come out of the socket (oo-er!) and I could only get it back in by taking the unit off the car and getting mad with it, winding it all the way in then all the way out and pulling it and getting more mad with it. finally it went in although i now need to readjust it as its pointing up in the air somewhere i think.

I don't think the screw bits should pop out of the internals though as mine kept coming to a stop.

I would suggest that your ball and socket have come apart so you have maybe tried to over compensate with the screw bits. take it off the car and remove the bulb and the bulb holder and whatever else will come off and you should be able to see inside if anything has come loose. stick your finger inside and try to pull the reflector back towards the screw bit, then wind them both all the way towards the back of the unit and try to prise the ball and sockets back together then wind it out slowly and opefully you'll be ok.
