Default Headlight adjusting screw
I ordered a couple of headlight adjusting bolt from Zip and when I tried to change one out this weekend I ran into a problem. My old bolts are course thread and new ones are fine thread. Did someone bubba my headlights or did I get the wrong bolt. This is the sbolt the adjust the closure up and down so it is level.

I got my headlight adjusting hardware from them maybe a year ago and had no problems. Sounds like you need to give them a call as suggested. Probably just one of those things.
