Default Adjusting headlights

I have a problem. I had adjusted my headlights too high one night, and now I get 1 out of 9 drivers on the road flashing their brights at me every goddamn night. The problem is with adjusting them now is that I stripped all the rubber crap inside, so what else can I do to adjust my headlights?

Maybe what we can do is try to get glue or something down there, then when it hardens up try to twist that sumbitch because this is really frustrating when I'm blinding others unintentionally.

that's a good idea. . . maybe superglue a screwdriver bit in there or something. . . but it would look so ghetto

Try pushing down on the light while you tighten the adjustment?

heh, at this point I could care less when I pop the hood. Maybe I'll just scrape off as much of it as I can if I have to go that route.

I got my smoked headlights from BlueOvalInd. They are great, you can't go wrong from either place although the Blue Oval was cheaper.
