It's broken, then. Has anyone ever adjusted it before? They probably turned too much to one side or something.

Not sure if the adjuster unit itself is availabe by itself for purchase/replacement, but I'm willing to be that Acura would only sell the entire housing as one unit.

agreed. most likely you will need a new one.. take it out(the headlight) and see if you can see if its striped out or if something is broken
