My Horizontal headlight adjuster wont adjust

[Zurge]

I went to adjust my headlights and my passenger side horizontal adjuster doesnt adjust the light. I turn it but nothing happens, so i was wondering if it is possible for me to replace it.

Have you replaced any bulbs in that light housing since the last time you tried to adjust it? Its possible the headlight housing is not sitting in its "socket" properly, preventing your adjusters from working properly.

Second, are you sure you're adjusting it properly? From what I've seen, neither adjuster is specific to horizontal or vertical and requires working with both to get your desired adjustment... at least it did for mine.

it may be possible that the inside is stripped if u adjust them alot or the wrong way.

The headlights are installed into there "sockets" properly and when i turn the adjuster it just doesnt do anything. I am referring to the passenger side headlight, and the adjuster closest to the drivers side.
If the adjuster is stripped can i replace just that adjuster, or somehow adjust the headlight anyways?

not sure, hopefully u dont have to buy a new assembly.

From my expeirence you have to buy a whole new headlamp housing. ($250)
but what I did was take it out, put the end that turns in a vice, and rotate the whole headlamp around it. It worked to get it close to straight again. It's allready broke, what you got to lose?

:stupid: yep, it sucks, GM doesn't think about that crap. Too bad they didn't use good quality parts...
