Headlight Adjusters Frozen

How do I get the headlights to adjust? can we buy new adjusters? Free them up...Who knows what to do? I don't wanna reinvent the wheel on this one..

Try mix of Coca Cola and WD40. Really works!

Coca-Cola and WD-40 don't mix. Coca-Cola really does not do any of the things it is reputed to do in my experience. It is no more powerful a cleaner than any other carbonated drink with phosphuric acid in it. Use PB-Blaster, that is the good stuff.

I was able to get 7 out of eight freed up. I'm going to buy one..Pretty hard you have to work them back and fourth for ever after you lube them. I buffed out my headlights with a light polishing compound and machine. They are like new now...
