Problems with my headlights. need help

[AleksLukic]

I have a 96 GSX. The headlights have this build in alignment thingie, where u move a screw left or right to move the bubble to the middle to line up the headlights properly. My problem is when I do thi, within 10 mintues of driving the bubble completely goes off to one end of the bar or the other. So either its shooting the light way to high, or way to low, either way I can't see anything. Tonight was by far the worst, with the rain here in Chicago, I couldn't see the lines or the reflectors on the street at all, its as if I'm driving blind. Anyone have tips as to how i can fix this so the alignment doesn't constantly go out of wack. Thanx for the help.

thats really odd -- all the lights if adjusted are REALLY hard to turn the screws. Does yours turn freely ?

It sounds like you need to invest some time and curiosity. Take your lights completely out of the car and investigate. It sounds like the anchor that the screw is driven into isnt holding anymore and or is striped out. Take it apart and look and you'll figure it out. Maybe just putting some tape on the threads will help to give some grip. Who knows? You just gotta tinker.

the screws turn very freely. I'm just looking for a quick fix because in a few months i'll be changing the front end completely, but its annoying not bein able to see.

well..... since you going 2 change the whole front why dont you adjust it and superglue it that might be an option....... (pozdrav)...

I'd use silicone seal instead of superglue- cyanoacrylates will attack some styrenes.
