Default headlight adjustment

G'day , wifes LV focus headlights need adjustment, I searched the database here on how to do this but when i turn the screw it does absolutley nothing. I cant find any other way to do this. They are not auto leveling headlights. One of the lights beam is lighting approx 2 meters in front of the car. Any advice appreciated...........cheers

Head lights don’t just go out of alignment, there’s normally a reason why. It could range from a bird strike to a bump in the road.
It’s difficult to see the light unless you point it at a wall in a dark place and cover one while focusing the other.
If you’ve done this already and it makes no difference it could be a broken adjuster inside the light housing.
Also check the globe hasn’t dropped out of its holder.
