Does anybody happen to have any tip for fixing mazda 3 headlight adjustment mechanism? The left light of my mazda 3 is currently aimed too high and because of that it won't pass the inspection. The aiming just doesn't change by turning the screws. I heard that a whole new mechanism would cost ~400€, so if somebody has alternative suggestion to fix this, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

It seems the screw driver itself works as a cog. If that is the case make sure you have the proper kind and size of screw driver.

I hope this helps.
