Default Help on fixing headlight adjustments

Does anyone know how to fix or may have had the same problem with their lowbeam adjustment screws. I dunno if i warped the bolt but when i turn it i do not see any movement in the beam pattern of the headlight. I have a sc300, there is a leveler that tells you if it is centered or not. On the horizontal adjustment leveler it is all the way to the left, i need to move it to the right but no matter how many times i turn it, it stays in the same place. Has anyone had the same problem or know how to fix this?

using a normal screwdriver will take FOREVER!! Use an electric screwdriver and you will be able to see the lowbeam actually move up and down.

The plastic mount for that bolt may be stripped. The only way to make sure is to take out the headlights and inspect them.
