Default Headlight adjustment ?

How in the heck do you adjust the headlights on these things ? I turn the adjuster screws but nothing happens. On the inner or outer, left or right lamps.
The leveler isnt even moving. Are the broken or am I doing it wrong ?

TIA !

I know nothin on this matter but i do remember someone talking about it in a thread in the First gens or maybe even the lighting. SEARCH and see what you can come up with.

THe way i'd think it would work it is you need to park on a very flat ground infront of a wall or garage or something and park an X amount of feet away. Might be 25-30 feet.. TRy marking differnt marks of different lighting areas on the flat surface and then try to adjust your lamps. But i'm pretty sure someone has the correct instructions on adjusting, just search.

AS soon as you figure it out let me know, i will need to do mine

I have adjusted other cars in the same way with the adjustment screws, but these screws spin and dont adjust anything.

This is looking down on top of driver headlight. There are 3 adjusting screws. Make sure headlamp housing is not broken.
Good Luck.

You'll have more luck posting in the IS forums but I think there is something special to adjust yours. Are they auto leveling ?
I think in my case the buckets are stripped.
