Default Headlight adjustment problem

I just got new Depo two peice headlights from pro car parts, they seem to be very nice but at night they are pointed straight down. I tried to adjust them but they didn't seem to move at all. Now when i turn the screw either way they just make a clicking sound. I searched on this and the most i have come up with is that some ball joint thing came loose or whatever, can anyone help?

Nevermind, the horizontal/vertical adjustment screws are switched in this housing

Default Re: Headlight adjustment problem

the same problem happened with my old 2 pieces. the best way to fix the problem is take the headlights out of your car and take off the back piece. if you examine it closely you'll notice that there is an arm that extends down from the screw you were tryin to twist. make sure the projectors are clipped on securely. if they are i would try pushing the projector up so it aims higher, and use smoe force because you can clip them back on if they become detached. email me if you need more help
