Passenger headlight wont adjust
So I went to replace my passenger headlight bulb and as I put in the new bulb I realized the case was wiggling. I'm not sure if I broke it or if it was broken before but it appears the clips that adjusted it has broken off. I took the headlight out to see if I could fix it however I was unable to get the glass lens off since it appears to be glued. I also heard debris inside the lens and when I shook it out it appeared to be ash/dust and black plastic clips. I am assuming these were the clips holding it in place :/
I was a bit surprised on how it was a bit of a pain to replace the bulbs on this car. Usually, some of the work I've done has been pretty easy.
Has anyone else experienced this and is there any fix or will I need to go to the junkyard and get a new headlight?
Thanks

i had exactly the same problem. i replaced mine with a junkyard replacement, then disassembled the broken one. the adjustment screw is clipped to the mobile adjustment piece inside, the lens focussing part. broken up inside as well, clinkety clinkety. definitely not repairable.
