halogen beam off centered

Phil325 · 06-24-2011, 08:17 PM

ive tried adjusting with the white plastic screw knob, and it doesnt raise it high enough. i believe it has to do with the little plastic piece in front of the bulb being crooked (one with the tiny hole in the middle), but i can't adjust it without opening the housing i assume? thanks
