I don't understand how the headlight adjustment works

[VIIIup]

I'm looking at the aim height adjusters on the housings that came off my car in lieu of the LSC housings I got from Tony. I can't for the life of me understand how they are supposed to move the housing up and down. School me please.

You have 2 adjusters, and one white holder that is not an adj. The plastic blue, or white is what holds the headlight in. In the center is a metal shaft, might have a red piece of shrink tube on it( throw it away, I put it there so they couldn't scratch another light. The end of the metal shaft sticking out the rear is the adjuster. Turning it will move the angle of the light up/dn, lft/rt Most people use pliers to turn it. Hold the plastic so it doesn't turn, and turn the metal shaft. I think it's 1/8".

For future use, when you get the lights where you want them, pull in the garage, and put marks, on the wall, ( I used masking tape) at the center of the lights "hot spot" center. if ever needed they save time on test drives. Measure distance from the wall, or put a mark on the floor.
