Headlight Adjusters Replaceable????
I bought a set of Ecodes and it appears one of the adjusters has been run beyond it's range and is now not allowing the headlight to move. Are the adjuster screws replaceable and if so how?

If the adjuster is past the allowable range, you can reach inside the housing and while ...
turning the adjuster on the outside, re thread the adjuster screw back into the "nut". Then carefully turn both adjusters to position the inner projector / high beam reflector assembly so that the clearance at the bottom front is about the same as on your original housings. Normally, to adjust the vertical beam aim angle, Both adjusters are turned equally, to adjust the lateral side to side beam aim only the outer adjuster is turned.
If the internal adjustment parts are actually broken, then the housing is shot. You can remove the projectors from the housings and swap them with the projectors in your original housings. That will provide the ECE ecode light projection pattern, in your original housings.
