headlight woes!

Well as you all know i bought a set of these lights
Amazon.com: AmeriLite Chrome Replacement Headlights Assemblies LED Parking Lamp Set for 1999-2004 Ford Super Duty / 00-01 Excursion - Passenger and Driver Side : Automotive Amazon.com: AmeriLite Chrome Replacement Headlights Assemblies LED Parking Lamp Set for 1999-2004 Ford Super Duty / 00-01 Excursion - Passenger and Driver Side : Automotive

I really like them, but i have the passenger side pointing way up in the air, drivers side is in a good position
The problem is that i can not get the adjuster to work , it just spins with no reaction
I will call them on monday to see what can be done, but this passenger side is going to get me a ticket!

I'm sure they will replace it. They have great customer service from my experience. I bought a 03 ranger about a year ago and already had a set of amerilite headlights installed in it. It was the ones that had the "led tube" thing like a lot have now. Well when it would get below freezing that light wouldn't work on one side. Soon as it warmed up it worked fine. Weird I know. 😂 But anywho I sent them a email and told them I was not the original purchaseer and what it was doing and they still sent me a new one free of charge and a return label for the old one.

If the bulb got dislodged the angle would still move when you tried to adjust it. I bet the adjuster got screwed all the way out off the threaded part. There is a seal on back you can pull off to change bulb. I'd try to look at the adjusters also and see if you can see them there also. Maybe it's a easy fix.
