is it not spinning or is it just not moving? cuz you should give it some distance from the wall to do that kinda stuff.

I took a cordless drill and te gear is spinning but the light doesnt move.How many revolutions does it take to move the bulb up or down.

If you're headlight's adjustment gears are working then it shouldn't take that many rotations to move your headlight. I use a screw driver and can see my light move when I turn it. My previous headlights wouldn't move for anything. I had to replace both. I'd turn and turn and turn but the beam would stay put.
