[V8] Euro Lights adjusted way too high

Well, thanks for the input guys.
I didn't want to hear the bit about "remove the headlights" though.
What a stupid idea, to have to remove the bumper first.
Anyway . . .

I did a little poking around in the back of the lamp.
The adjuster turns nicely, the wire turns inside, the plastic rack  
and pinion turns great, the bolt in the plastic shaft is shiny and  
new and rotates away, but ALAS, it looks like the plastic shaft isn't  
really connected to the lamp bezel!
So I tried tilting the lamp bezel, and sure enough I could rock it up  
and down.
Unfortunately, because it's too deep inside,  I can't see how the  
connection is made or why it is disconnected.
Why on earth should it come apart anyway?

Sigh . . . .

I wonder if Toyotas have this problem.

Maybe I should sell it. "V8 Quattro, cheap. Best driven during  
daylight hours."

Mark.
