I went to put new head lights in and the one on the right didn't go up far enough to take out. I have the Hyanes book and its says something about a adjusting screw where is it? There is also no pics on how to adjust it. So I'm stuck until I can figure it out.

 

Look on the actuator motor just behind the light - there's a black **** on top with a label about adjusting your headlight. Disconnect the headlight fuseable link on the driver's side, then turn the ****.

 

Manntis (talk about a deadboy look in his avatar... ) is talking about the manual over-ride to raise the bucket assembly when, if ever, the electric motor fails. I've yet to see even one. Usually it's fuse related or connectors unplugged. The adjustment **** you're looking for is buried directly under the hinge assembly on the partition wall between the engine compartment and the area in front of the radiator. The driver side will only be accessed after battery removal, BTY....

 

could also be that those plastic bearings on the arm are shot..thats really common

my left headlight only goes up about 3 /4 the way cos theres do much play.......

 

My first plastic headlight bushing on the passenger side is cracked. It caused the light to make the horrible thunk noise evertime I lowered it. and it sat about 1/4" too low when is was down too. I managed to fix it with a little expoy and a pair of pliers.
