Default How can I replace the brokern headlight height adjustment ****??

I had my xenon ecodes installed by a local body shop and tonight, I just realized that my driver's side
headlight height adjustment **** is broken and wouldn't adjust the height at all.
Is it easy to replace it or is there something more involved in it? Thanks!

Default if you happen to come by one, would you please let me know too?

I just can't stand the current height of my headlights. Thanks!

Default find a headlight housing from a wreck and take it apart...

I believe that you will have to melt the glue that holds the good housing together to get to teh broken pieces.
FWIW, you can try to see if it is only off track. Take the headlight out of the car and see if you can get it to work. I would place the haedliighr facing up and see if you rotate the adjustment screw if it will "re-thread" itself.
