broke the headlight aiming screw

today i was aiming my passenger headlight when i accidentally crushed/broke the plastic turning teethed screw with my philips screwdriver (so its now missing a few teeth and it is not turning / loose)! the headlight is stuck at aiming towards the sky! im not sure what to do, i don't know much about cars but i did have a minor accident on this side of car last year. so what do i do because i cant keep these lights aiming too high, i cant see and i will blind others. help! thx

You can also use a 10mm open ended wrench on the adjuster wheel.

Head light assembly from wreck yard or ebay

If you can'f fix the adjustment, the alternative is to get a replacement assembly from wreck yard or from ebay.
In my area of the wreck yard, they charge an arm and a leg, so ebay might be the place to look for your parts and compare prices.

Good luck!
