    Thanks a lot! One of my adjuster screws is stripped and the big bolt is popped out and bent so my driver side headlight sticks out a little and my headlight cover won't stay in place on that side. This is exactly what i needed!

    This is a decent write-up, but really needs specifics on those springs to be of any real use. Using a bigger spring, the headlight can move up and down...it is not captive.

    Hello, well I just got whole new headlight assemblies for my car and as I was adjusting them I managed to strip the crap out of one of my headlight adjusters so now I can't adjust it. Could I use a pair of plier to turn the screw thats exposed from the back so that I can adjust it that way. Like I said its new so there should not be any real resistance from it. Im thinking that it should just turn and I can just adjust it that way. What do ya'll think? Will it work?
