Ok, I think I've figured it out. The square piece that the adjustment rod and know actually screw into is RUBBER. At first, it looked like its made of metal or plastic. That piece actually came out with the rod. I didn't pay attention to the fact that is was rubber until a few minutes ago. When it happened, I was so pissed off I gave up at the time. Well I just picked it up of the garage floor where I threw it and realized that nothing is broken at all. I just screwed the rod too far and while trying to screw it back, I accidentally pulled the rubber piece out too. I took a small narrow piece of metal and poked it through the whole where the adjustment screw goes, and it made the headlight pivot up and down. So, tomorrow when I have more patience, I'll take out that Control box next to the Round duflotchy so that I can get better access, and I should be able to re-insert the rubber piece and have enough room to negotiate screwing the adjustment rod back in. Should be ok. I'll update when I find out for sure.

As for just costing myself $400, where did that come from? Even if I had to replace the headlamp assembly, I'm competent enough to pull the bumper off and the headlight myself. And the last time I checked, Headlights are selling on eBay all day long for less than $100. You must be the guy that takes pleasure in telling your neighbor that their dog just got run over... Or do you just collect Death Scene Photography?

I have the manual, and I looked at the diagrams and instructions before hand. Everyone makes mistakes, even me, with all the automotive technical experience I have. If I can build and engine, install a turbo, I think I can handle a freaking headlight...
