Aiming headlight

My headlight is suddenly seem high, I try to lower it. There is adjustment on top of headlight and I turn about 50 times and it doesn’t seem to move? Any idea?

Take it to the dealer (or another shop with a headlight aiming machine) to get it done properly. It is impossible to properly aim headlights at home.

Those people that think that a garage door substitutes for a headlight aimer are the same people that blind oncoming traffic. This is even more vital with LED lights.

Figured out the issue.
passeger side turn clockwise to lower. So driver side got to be counter clockwise.
issue with last night is I tried driver side and look like adjuster is defective. Try the other side this morning and it works perfectly. So next oil change I get need dealer to fix this.

Or you broke it.

Misaligned headlights (especially LED) are dangerous. Please take the car in as soon as possible.
