Headlight adjusters

Anyone no where I can find pics of how adjusters work? Mine does not seem to change anything. Interested to see if I can get them working.

The only thing I can find is in the Owner Manual. If it is in the shop manual they hid it too darn good for me to find.

Do they both not work? Are they aftermarket?

There is only a single adjustment, up and down. It's a snap fit assembly inside and there are a lot of cheap headlights for sale online that seem to come from a huge defective lot, with the adjuster not connected, possibly on the driver side, so that it does nothing. They point way too low and you can't do anything about it.

I dont know if they are aftermarket or OEM but adjusters dont change anything. And they are to low.

Sounds like you have a winner. A disconnected adjuster. Pretty sure your choices are live with it or buy good ones. If you buy new test the function immediately, you don't want them sitting around in the garage for 6 months and then discover they don't work and find yourself stuck with unreturnable junk.
