kinda long, hope someone can help...

i adjusted my headlights about 2 weeks ago to dead center for hor. and vert. noticed the other day that the driver's side beam pattern throws a cone pattern on the ground seemingly right in front of the car - i can deal with that. what bugs me though is that the passenger side seems to not even be lit up. i don't know if it's thrown out to the side or too high or low or what, but even though it's on, it's like i can't see anything on that side of the road. i've hit a pothole or two, but is it normal for them to go out of whack this quickly? the adjustor won't take a phillip's screwdriver anymore (seems to be stripped), so i reverted to turning the gear itself with a pair of pliers. gonna try an allen wrench next, but is there a clip or something that might be broken and not holding the bulb correctly?

any ideas appreciated. thanks

-Take the cover on the back of the lights off and check if the bulbs are properly seated.

-Check if you can adjust the reflector.

-Remove the lights and examine them carefully.

-Disassemble the lights if you still haven't found what's wrong.
