Can't lower lights with adjuster screws
Ok..............I finnally need to get this done cause the local cops stopped me for it. When I had the halogens in I had no problems! Ever since I got the HID 8000K installled my beam is facing high well high enough to have people flicker their high beams at me and lastnight dec 28th a cop stopped me and I was behinnd him at first. He asked me if I had my high beams on and had me demonstrate and once I proved it he let me go. I tried adjusting the screws down but nothing happens! I have bi-zenon look Depo clear lenses with 8000k HID KIT. HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED SOMETHING LIKE THIS?

I had one of mine break and it wouldn't adjust. I replaced it and now it's fine.
What are you doing over the holidays? Want to come by and get that Intake issue resolved and to take a look at the lights?
I need to install the CF lip, clean my air filters, and other misc things to a friends car.

Around noon will be good.
If the screw is broken, then it can't be fixed. An easy way to tell is to shake the light and see if it moves around on the inside. My projector would easily move up and down.

I'm on the same boat. People flip me off all the time while driving at night. I replaced my xenon with bixenons and I guess they are level too high.
When ppl flick their lights at me I usually slow down, let them pass me and show them my real HIGH beams. Then I get next to them, flip them back with both hands and take off. I'm sure they get the point.

I will see you then around noon. If you are talking about the projector that the HID is on then yes it moves up and down.

it actually should be an easy fix...i had this happen to me when i put my bi-xenon headlights in...i thought something was broken so i removed the headlight and figured out that the projector bulb was moving around inside the housing...here is the fix:
take the projector (you have to remove the service cover from the back of the light) with your hand and push up on the back of it (this will face the light down), with your other hand, use a screw driver to reseat the adjustment screw turning clockwise so that it catches and moves it down...if you try to aim your headlight too high, this will happen...
hope this helps...happy holidays!
