Default Does the verticle headlight adjustment screw not work or is it just me?
It seems to just keep turning and turning and I don't see the lights move at all.

Just you. The vertical one makes drastic changes. It's the horizontal one that's very slight.

Default ahh. vertical is side to side movement correct? No drastic changes here. I think you've got your
angles mixed up. :-)

Default IIRC, you can actually go too far, and run the threads right off the adjuster.
Not sure if it's possible to "regrab" the threads, you'll prob. need to loosen your headlight and tilt the whole thing up/down to where you want it going, then fine adjust with the worm gear adjuster...

Vertical is up/down. Horizontal is side/side.

Sounds like something's wrong -- my vertical screw makes a very noticable diff. when I turn it.

Default huh I figured up and down would be considering changing the horzion. Didn't know about
the 'relating to' part. Oh well learn something new allready today.
