Default HID Headlight Adjustment Help!

Before you all go on a rant about how i need to do a search for this in the forums. I did search and I did read up on how to adjust the headlights. Using the 8mm bolt in the back to move it up and down. However for some reason my low beam does not seem to be moving at all when i twist this bolt in either direction. Does anyone know what the problem may be? Maybe another way to adjust the low beam to aim down a little? Any help would be appreciated!

It takes a lot of turns to adjust it. Just keep trying.

what ^ said....

also, the adjusting screw is placed between 2 plastic pieces. Sometimes they get worn out and thus the screw has nothing to catch grip onto when trying to adjust the headlamp. Had it happen to me when I was doing a retrofit on my old headlamps.

BUT try to keep turning the screw you do have to turn it alot its quite a long one.

Thank you guys for the help. I got it adjusted finally! It tells you (while facing front of the car looking down on the drivers side headlight) to turn the bolt clockwise to adjust down. WRONG! I had to turn it counter-clockwise to move the headlight down. Anyone else run into this?
