Ok, so my headlights have been pointed toward the ground for awhile now since the last time i tried to adjust them, the adjustment knob was stuck. I just put my HID's today and tried adjusting them again and i got them to turn but they just keep turning and not adjusting the light. I'm assuming the whole adjustment system inside the headlight itself is just fucked huh? Both of them dont move, just keeps spinning. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

the adjuster is stripped, unfortunately the only fix is new headlamps that I know of

If youre lucky, its just the screwdriver knob slipping on the gear itself. I was able to take off the screwdriver part and turn mine by hand. Wasnt very fun, but it worked.

This isn't what i wanted to here. lol. Shit, o well, cheapest i found online was like $203 each and i'm not spending that much and i'm not buying that ebay ricer shit to make my car look like a honda either. I've got someone already on my post in the BST section. Anyone else have any extra OEM headlights?

you could try putting a couple washers and longer bolts under the lower headlight mounts and push the bottom out a bit. I had to do that after I couldn't straighten a section of my rad support panel all the way from a bump.

someone on here already sent me an offer and i just asked him to verify that the vertical adjustment works. If so, he's got a deal

Dude you need to hit up the local scrap yards via phone, those are done when they do that. Its fairly common to happen, see if you can scoop some 97-99's in good shape at a descent price (no more than $65 ea.) or eBay / aftermarket

already have been to all of them listed in the phone book. hard to find any eclipse in the yards here regardless of the generation. The only ones that i have seen have been there as long as i can remember and are stripped or have busted lights. Got a good deal from a guy on here already. both for 65 shipped
