Issues with light alignment
I have had my retrofitted headlights for a while now. I noticed my left light was lower than I'd like and I wanted to aim it up a bit. I went out the other night to one of the dead end roads in my neighborhood and adjusted both lights. The right one was fine but wanted it slightly higher.
When I went to adjust the left light I used the tool and noticed it wasn't really moving and when I started to adjust it, it dropped lower instead of higher. I tried to bring it back up and the metal screw is cheap and really soft metal and the adjustment wrench I used rounded it off when I was trying to bring it back up.
Any suggestions on aiming it back up?
NOTE TO SELF: buy higher quality headlights for retrofit.
Thanks in Advance!

Go to lowes or home depot and get a metric M6 nut I believe and a tube of crazy glue. Thread the nut on, squirt a little glue on the threaded shaft then forward or reverse the nut over the glue and wait. Wait 30 minutes or so to ensure proper bonding. Turning Right or towards the passenger side should lower the light, while turning Left or towards the driver side should raise them. If neither way makes any difference you will need to open the lights to correct the problem.

YEP! That's what I was using it was on securely on the bolt and I started using it then it just was spinning. The metal on the rod is super soft on these FLEABAY headlights I used for retrofit

Hm. Mine are holding up.

But I know why- when I got my eBay ones, I took the tabs off the OEMs to maintain alignment. If you still have the OEM lights, you can pop them off and replace them. Sadly its been two years since I've played with mine so I have no idea where they are or I would send you some.

Are they aftermarket? If so you can usually just pry them apart as they do not use the permseal that ford does.
