eBay headlights

I bought a pair but can't figure out how to adjust them up/down. It looks like you have to take them out to get to the backside of the adjusting screw and the fronts have a plastic piece covering the screw head. I thought about clipping the front piece off but if there is an easier way, please let me know.

Hmm. I did the sport conversion a few years ago and bought from ebay, my lights adjust just the same as oem. adjust them from the front with the Headlamps installed. if you can post a pic of your lights you bought? does the picture in ebay the same as the ones you recieved.

The picture was vague and you cant really see the adjustment screws. Basically there is a screw on top and bottom with the screw head covered with a plastic that can't be removed. The other ends of the screws are exposed and have a hex style end for adjusting. I thought about drilling out the plastic at the front of the screw so I could get a screwdriver in there and not have to remove the light to adjust it. They do have a front adjustment for horizontal but nothing easy for vertical.

I would think you'd use hex socket to adjust them. I think I have same headlights you're talking about.

I looked at it closer and there is a clip over the screw head at the front. I can pop the clip off, adjust screw with my fingers and the snap the clip back on. I don't know why they had to make these so difficult.
