Default BIG problem with headlights

Well about a week ago my stupid *** crashed my car into a dirt pile. Though I almost flipped the real damage came when the front end of the car landed. The other day I realized my headlights were REALLY low (not in intensity but in range) so I tired to adjust them and it appears they won't adjust. Then when I looked on the side of the orb's I noticed on both of them it looks like the sides are shattered.

Is there something else I have to push/pull/screw in order to raise them or is it just royally ****ed?

If the answer to the question above is "Yes sam, it is" Then does anyone know where I can get a cheap new set of headlights with new height adjustors?

Thanks.

PS: How do I resecure that skid thing on the bottem?

I just wanted to say thanks for posting that how-to on the headlights. I was cruising around the web last night and checked out the Lexus Owners Club (LOC) There is some joker on there offering to "modify" your stock headlights to clear corners for "only" $475.00 a side! LOL.. and he actually was expecting a high volume of requests.

I wonder if anybody bit on that one...

here it is.. from the LOC Forum..
FOR OWNERS OF A GS300 93-97

REFERENCE TO GETTING YOUR HEADLIGHT CORNER CLEAR.

I can get your orange headlight corner to become clear, "without the orange."
It will cost $475 a headlight and would take a week or less, depending on how many headlights I have at the present time in my shop "NOT INCLUDING SHIPPING TIME". You may pay through PAYPAL manually and be totaly secure with your payment. Paypal will insure you and will refund you you money if you do not receive your headlight back or if the job is not completed to your standards. You may also pay by check or money order. Payments will have to be given in full before job is started. If headlight can not be done due to some other aperant reasons, I will refund your money and return your headlight . You will also have to pay for the shipping charges here and back.

Call me if you have any questions :cell # 973-xxx-xxxx
just thought i'd share..
