to know how to fix them. This car is now driven mainly by my fiancee and I prefer safety over looks.

If you can fix them it would be a hell of a deal. If it's simple and you can tell me what to do, we'd thank you forever.

Default the adjustment does nothing but spin.

it moves, but never higher then ankle level when standing 1 foot away, so it's not stripped. I think there are clips inside the lights that are probably broken. No one can tell me.

Default have you taken the lamp out and examined it?

i think when i first got my euros, the housing had popped loose of the adjustment screw and ball joint type thingy. try popping it back in.

Default if they're pointing to the ground and adjustments are ...

doing nothing, chances are you're either
missing the shipping plugs or one of the connecting points from the projectors to the housings have popped out or have broken. when you take the covers off, can you move the inner portions around? i.e. if you were to shake the housing, does anything move in the housing?
