I bought some new headlights for my 03 Trailblazer and the vertical adjuster on the Driver headlight doesn't do anything and to get it replaced I have to send both headlights back (which means taking the other one back off the truck, swapping my HIR bulbs back into the stock lights and reinstalling them, get refunded then buy another set, alternatively they are willing to offer a partial refund if I want to keep them as is and try to fix it myself.
I've examined the headlight and I believe the issue is the white plastic piece the adjuster screw threads into is stripped out, is there are way to fix that? I was spit balling an idea of cutting off the section of housing (see photo) that holds the adjuster screw shortening it and reattaching it with some epoxy, my idea to to allow the screw to go deeper into the white plastic piece to a section that isn't striped out, thoughts?
