so u hit a pot hole and your headlight got knock out of place and won't turn on?

if I have to guess it's the bulb got knock out of place. Open it and check. The screw is pretty tight so unless you hit a deer and brake things only that will get the screw adjuster out of it's place.

Lol I was driving while posting.. I hit a freaking pot hole. *** NY- anyways now left projector is pointed up. All lights work. But left seems to be offline and pointed up - I hit the housing with fist and there's movemnt with projector. I'm wondering is the adjustment screw will bring it back down... Maybe someone delt with this issue before

when my headlight was pointing way way down, it was because I didn't install the bulb in correctly. When I reinstall it correctly it was pointing strait again. This is why I think it's your bulb and not the headlight itself.

Look ahead, instead of on your cell phone, you might notice those pot holes and drive around them instead.

I would inspect the headlight inside, to be sure something didn't just get knocked out of place.

I also have no idea what you're talking about... texting while driving seems like a pretty dumb thing to be doing.

I was texting this post hours after it happened.. That's why the 1st post was incomplete. Wasn't textin when it happened - all i wanted to know if anyone had this issues with projector pointing up.. I looked at the level'er and the bubble
Is all the way to the left which means it up.

I can say that NY highways suck just came back and there is no where to avoid potholes your only choice is slow down and take the hit, so I feel your pain!
