Hi,

Does anyone have, or can explain/show/draw how the screws for adjusting headlights work?

I think my up/down's are busted, cuz i can stand there and turn them for hours and nothing happens...lol.

I have a set of OE headlights (lens is messed up, reflector is oxidized, etc) but I think I can still use inside bits....if i need.

Is it something that can easily break, such as through shipping, or has it just 'popped' loose and I can fix it without taking 2 sets of headlights apart?

Thanks!

Very likely that the reflector housing has pop out, only way to fix it is to open it up. While your at it, blackhouse it as well and try to wipe clean the reflector with something soft that wont scratch it. Dont use t-shirt!

I thought so too...

Would it be possible to sort of 'pull back' the reflector with my hands (bulb out) while turning it so it screws in again? Again, I donno how these are designed..lol

They already are blackhoused, and the lens/light itself is in awesome condition...just that i can't adjust.

I'll try re-screwing it I guess...ugh I REALLY don't want to open them up..lol

Yeah... use a 90* pick or bent hook to pull it back at the socket... might not work perfectly though.
