    DX Passenger side headlight low

    My passenger headlight is far too low, it illuminates about 2 feet of road very well but thats it. Are there any headlight adjustment screws anywhere?

    Yeah the big knob on the motor. But it sounds like it is much lower than the range of adjustment. Check that it is not getting obstructed and the motor is sweeping the same as the other side.

    I thought that was just for manual operation, but i tried to use it and the motor gets mad at me and resists any more upward movement.

    Yeah it does that when it reaches the top, kind of comical. There has to be something bound up or bent

    Please dont use the knob.

    The headlights adjusters are Phillps headed screws and I believe the 12 o clock and 3 o clock positions. There reset in a little where the ring that holds the headlight is. You can adjust the left right and the vertical with them.

    I guess I didn't ask whether the whole assembly is pointed down or if it is just the bulb lol, didn't cross my mind.

    Yeah aiming the actual bulb is just some screws in the front. You might want to take the black plastic off and check whether it's assembled correctly since it's so low.
