headlight issue

well my drivers side headlight I can no longer adjust and a junk yard wants $70 for one used one and $130 for a new one. I was wondering is there someway to still adjust the light even tho the top parts aren't working anymore to adjust it?

mine dont work on either headlight. it like rusted out and they just twist on the little rod they are hooked on too. what i did was take out the headlight, remove all the adjusters. but then i pulled it into the street and used a pair of pliers to adjust the beam. then i put hot glue in the hole on the pieces that slide on those little rods. and then put a big glob of hot glue all the way around it so it wouldnt move. i did that about 6 months ago and nothing has gone wrong yet. it does save money... worth a shot.

Would use something stronger/ not heat sensitive! Know where I live hot glue would last like a day in the summer! I'll look for headlights next time I goto the yard know cheery needs one to think it's like 26 bucks with core charge. Then whatever for shipping and paypal fees

ive got people looking locally too lol, so what exactly did you do? take all the stuff out and manually adjust them?

I need both headlights too, I'm in Chicago. I can't adjust them and I think I'm blinding people with the HID's.....

well I managed to adjust mine tonight, I took apart the plastic adjusters and took my pliers and then just twisted and rusty stripped metal bar and away we go their high now but I like them that way I went out to a completly dark road were there is nothing and no lights ( like driving on our highways around here ) and I can see better then if I had my highs on. only person to flash me was a 18 wheeler all the cars didn't do anything but I may lower them a bit they are pointed quite high
