Default headlight help

i have the 1998+ body and my headlights rest on the bumer but also they dont tighten to a spot you can lift them freely with your hand about 1 inch and then they will just fall back down. is there a set screw missing or something.

Open your hood and take the ruber covering off the manual adjustment. with a screwdriver and try adjusting it that way.

look over the top of yur headlight with the hood up. theres a black cover with a long tube comming off it, behind the headlight cover. pull that rubber thing off and twist the ****. it manually raises and lwoers the lights

you dont need the brass gears yet. take uot the stock gear and flip it over. 180* of the stock one isnt used at all.

soo my light finally failed me this weekend. passenger side motor will just let the motor run but nothing. gear finally died. also why when i lock my car with my viper alarm. i had this before when the passenger side light failed once before. but the driver side will lift up about an inch and go back down when i unlock or lock it. is that becuase the wiring is into the lights to flash their bulbs and it raises them just a tad for the amount of power it gets for a split second.
