There is no need to disturb the adjusters when removing/replacing a bulb. Just remove the four screws holding the assembly in place. Then support it while you loosen the connectors to both lights. The connectors may be stiff and sticky. If you are only replacing the bulb for the low beam, you can leave the high beam connected and hold the assembly up while you deal with it. You need to learn this procedure so that you can do it in the dark when traveling. You do carry a spare bulb, don't you? :-) BTDT Larry A.
