Hello, tonight I tried to aim my headlights and turned the screw to adjust clockwise. As I turned it I did not notice the headlight moving up or down much. I was parked about 15 feet away from a wall. For anyone who has adjusted there headlights, how much did you have to turn the screw? Thanks

Hi SFA500 (Your name sound like a robot)

The headlights do not much much when you adjust it. You have to move the screw a lot to get a little difference.

Why are you adjusting?

It's so fine tuned that you have to turn A LOT to get it to move a lot. You will notice very minor adjustment with a single turn, just keep working it until you get it how you like.

K cool thanks guys. I am adjusting because I feel they are aimed low.

Don't aim it too high, you don't want to blind other drivers.

IIRC, 15 ft. is too close, you need to be about 25 ft. away to have your lights properly adjusted. Below is a link to an article on how to properly aim your lights.
