There are 2 extension screws that are at opposing corners
of the headlight assembly.
When I turn these (several full turns) the headlight does
not move nor does the beam projected on the garage door.

Is there some screws somewhere else I need to loosen before
the headlight moves. Can someone send me the service manual
page via e-mail ???.....Has anyone adjusted there headlights
and ran into this problem ???

Thx, Tmeyers-Colorado

The HL adjrs are 2 screws with black plasitc tips, one on each side of the rear of the HL assy . One should adj l/r the other U/D. Although IMHO the HL just suck anyway. The beam pattern just isn't good, I'm always using the fogs to help out.

I might have to agree with ya

I just about always have my fogs on when my headlights are on. It just seems to me that the light pattern isn't as sharp as it should be. Especially if you compare it to other vehicles that have a similar headlight assembly (i.e. clear lens with multiple reflectors, refractors) Any other thoughts?
