Default Headlight adjustment......

I was trying to aim the lights on my car tonight and I got the passenger side perfect. On the drivers side I was turning the adjustment screw that is next to the fender (where the pain in the *** screw is that holds the headlight in) and it just keeps turning. It won't adjust crap. The one next to the engine on the drivers side works fine though. Any ideas on what the hell is wrong with this thing?

Default Same thing happened with the Ecodes I just put in my b6

Was wondering the same thing. I found it to be the gears not engaging each other. What I did was push towards the rear gear while I turned the phillips. If you really need to, you can turn the rear gear with a flathead.

There was a screw/tab loose inside the housing. After some help we opened the back panel up and go the screw in place. After that I was able to adjust the light left/right not just up/down.

I was hoping that's what it was. I'll check it later. We're having an ice storm now

Can it be fixed easily without taking the headlight off?
