    NEED HELP Is there a way to fix this broken Headlight Adjustment Screw?

    @dmanns67 yeah I did mention it a lot before. Was thinking of getting a brand new headlamp housing because previous owner who own this 03 Envoy before me had very bad scratchy lens on it. I do need a new set of HID Kit since mine are 55w and with projector it will be too bright on the road even...

    NEED HELP Wondering what color HID is best suited for night driving?

    @Daniel644 I found a bunch of 5000k online but I am going after a particular company of HID and prices. @dmanns67 I still see retro sources have 5000k but I have to recheck it out.

    Weird Clicking Noise

    @Mooseman yeah I saw your article on how to test it. I seen a semi truck driver let his truck warm up to normal temperature and than grab the fan blade with his bare hand. I haven't tested mine out yet using a rag or a thick towel and sticking it between the fan blade and shroud.

    2004 Trailblazer LT I6 4WD - Front Drivers Differential Seal/Drivers Axle

    @webdawg on my old 99 GMC Jimmy Envoy that same seal on the driver side leaked. On my 03 Envoy now that same seal leaked the same way. Always leaking out from underside of CV AXLE. That seal all you do is pull out and put new one back in? Changing the rear seal on front differential is very...

    NEED HELP Is there a way to fix this broken Headlight Adjustment Screw?

    @Blckshdw When I went out to my vehicle and see how to put it back together. The black gear won't even sit firmly on the end of the shaft at all. Black gear is so very loose off the shaft it just spin freely. I guess that why adjustment screw won't rotate anymore. The in and out movement is very...

    NEED HELP Is there a way to fix this broken Headlight Adjustment Screw?

    @Blckshdw so do what you did and drill three holes just like that and are they phillip head type screw. How hard is the reflector attach to those ball joint type sockets. That screw in the picture with the wood is that how long it really is. I seen my adjustment screw and it is turned in too...

    NEED HELP Is there a way to fix this broken Headlight Adjustment Screw?

    @Blckshdw for the reflector piece is there any screw holding that in place I would need to take out and do it safely. For now I am thinking of using garbage twist tie to hold the adjustment.

    NEED HELP Is there a way to fix this broken Headlight Adjustment Screw?

    @Blckshdw I figure how is that even possible to get it back in if you already have the gear on the shaft first. Now I see that you hold the black gear on outside of the shaft and hit screw from inside. How did you remove the white ball joint from adjustment screw and which one is it?

    NEED HELP Is there a way to fix this broken Headlight Adjustment Screw?

    @Blckshdw right it like why waste my own time opening up the headlight once just to fix the adjustment screw and closing it back up. While I can fix the adjustment screw and retrofit it all at one time. When you replace the black gear back onto the metal shaft part how did you put it back into...

    NEED HELP Is there a way to fix this broken Headlight Adjustment Screw?

    @Blckshdw last night what I saw was when I push the screw in the light goes down. When I pull the screw out the light goes up. (Turning Clockwise) Lower the light and (Turning Counter Clock Wise) Raise the light. Just curious to know can I attach like a metal shaft collet that is long enough...

    NEED HELP Is there a way to fix this broken Headlight Adjustment Screw?

    @Blckshdw so basically it is impossible to turn the screw all the way out (Counter Clock Wise) far enough from the outside without the headlight adjustment being completely off. Those white plastic piece are the ball joint adjustment screw from the inside. If I don't want to open the headlight...

    NEED HELP Is there a way to fix this broken Headlight Adjustment Screw?

    @Chickenhawk What kind of shaft collet did you use as there are many different styles and types. Without the black gear holding the metal shaft screw my light housing does move a lot and it even drop my entire light adjustment all the way to the ground which I spotted yesterday.

    NEED HELP Is there a way to fix this broken Headlight Adjustment Screw?

    @Blckshdw what you are saying is that just push the black gear back on to the metal shaft. The metal screw that the black gear is attach to... can it be turned all the way out far enough to get needle nose pliers to hold it and force black gear back on that way from the outside. If I have to...

    NEED HELP Is there a way to fix this broken Headlight Adjustment Screw?

    Basically this is what I have to deal with right now on my driver side headlight off my 03 Envoy. (Pictures from another forum down below of the problem). Some how they neither vibrated loose and broke or broken off in some other odd way. I can still adjust the headlight by pushing the screw in...
