3rd Generation Headlight aiming SOLVED (sort of)

Well I've sort of had issues aiming my headlights since I got my camry 2 years ago... but tonight at 3am i figured out why they are so low and pretty much impossible to adjust... THEY POPPED OUT OF THE SOCKETS! (i know i know )

The only way i could get them to stay in was if I adjusted the headlights so that the edge closest to the grill went in towards the car more. Then of course when i dropped the hood (paying closer attention now) i realized that the hood pops them back down so when the hood goes down I just push in on them so they go back into the sockets. That combined with my 9006 to 9005 conversion makes them SO much better, I don't think i'll ever need high beams again. In fact i think they might be too high! But for now i'm gonna keep them like this until people start flashing their high beams.. then i might try and lower them again.

Oh and does anyone know how to fix this? I'm guessing you just have to replace the piece of plastic holding the socket.. but is it called and where do I get it?


alright im going to sleep
