    headlight adjustment problems

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Hey guys, I've got some xenons housings (non auto adjust) and for some reason, the adjustment screw on one of my headlights does not work. When I turn it either way, it doesn't adjust, and just "clicks". Are there any solutions?

    Thanks!

    how do you have xenons without auto leveling in america? Those only came out everywhere else... You sure your auto leveling is not broken?

    Re: headlight adjustment problems

    Ok guys, I still don't have an answer. Let me rephrase my question. My headlight (bixenons, non auto adjusting, similar to halogens) is broken. The screw that is used to adjust the light up and down does not work any longer. When I turn it either direction, it moves about 1/4 turn, then clicks, adjusting nothing. At the moment, it is turned way too high and I am blinding everyone at night. I don't care if I need to take apart the headlight to fix this, just that it can be fixed, or if anyone has had this problem before. Thanks!

    Re: headlight adjustment problems

    have you tried loosening the screw on the tab on the top and adjust the entire housing a little? the bottom tabs are designed to flex a little bit, so if you loosen the top tab, you should be able to move the housing slightly.

    i'm actually on the opposite end of you. My housing is aimed all the way up already, but it is still too low. However, i haven't tried the adjusting screw yet. Can you take a picture of where this adjusting screw is? Thank you.
