Broken Headlight Adjuster Need Help!

I just recently changed my bulbs from 6,000k to 4,250k and I noticed my driver side lightbulb is adjusted way to high. I asked the mechanic to adjust it when I went in for my inspection. He told me he did, but I noticed nothing different. I tried adjusting it about for 30min and there is absolutely no movement. I tried my passenger headlight adjuster and it works perfectly fine. There is another screw around the bottom of the headlight, but im guessing that screw adjust it left and right. Anyone have any clue on fixing this?

Re: Broken Headlight Adjuster Need Help!

I saw this thread before I messed with my adjuster. I had some bad ebay projectors installed when i bought my civic. The ones i have now are the CTR Headlights. There is no whole like that on my headlights. Just two screws on each headlight. Ill try to take a picture might explain it better.

I can always open it up and try to jb weld the adjuster back on, but I rather have new headlights. So I'm planning on buying some new headlights and retrofitting my old ones. It will be a first time *Praying*

yeah new headlights is the only way. those adjusters are sensitive and hard to fix right.
