Cannot Adjust Headlights

[b318isp]

On my Alhambra, the driver's headlight is slighty lower than the passenger's. I have tried turning the adjusting screw with an allen key, but it does not move the lamp at all. I know there is an adjustment for left-right aligning, but I'm sure I'm turning the vertical one.

 

Any idea's on what is happening (or not!)?

If you have turned the adjuster too far the screw adjuster and the headlamp refector pop apart (I know I did it last wednesday night).

 

You will have to take the headlamp out remove the back of the headlamp housing.

 

You will find a small ball joint, the ball is on the reflector which fits into a slot on the adjuster. You need to pop them back together then you will be able to adjust the lamps properly.

Isn't it supposed to be so ?

Thanks. As far as I know, the lower headligth retining screws need to be loosened, and the upper ones removed to take out the lights. Is this right?

Yeah, that's right. Tip..............Put a thin piece of card under the headlight and over the bumber to prevent the mounting bracket scratching the bumber when you remove the headlight.
