Like many of you, my headlight adjustment ball and socket disengaged. I read the posts here about this issue and thought I would try to fix the problem. Although my headlights were aftermarket, I did notice that the adjustment screws are marked as to up/down and right/left.

Also, while turning the adjuster, I realized that the plastic ball did NOT rotate.

I thought to myself " I'm gonna glue that sucker!" I used Duco Cement.

Here is the finished product.

I will let the glue setup overnight and reassemble tomorrow, but I think it will work.

Works great.
On a side note, although the Up/Down adjustments are the same from drivers to passengers headlights (CCW to raise), the Right/Left are not. Drivers side is CW to move right, passenger side is CCW to move right.

Thanks! I'll look closer at the assembly to see if that is the problem
