Broken vertical axis headlight adjuster

[Mango Bob]

I ran a search but didn't find an answer.

I have one self-leveling headlight on a 2008 328xi E92 that is stuck in a far high position. Neither headlight has functioning self-leveling operation - I don't care about that - I don't want self-leveling.

My question is, how can I bring the lens back down to a level position? The manual vertical adjuster is broken and the lens does not move at all. Can the assembly be disassembled and can the lens then be directed down in a different way, internally?

Do I need a new headlight assembly whose vertical adjuster is functioning? Or is this a simple fix?

Not sure how to tackle this without taking the assembly out and poking around.

I'm in the same position. Passenger headlight adjuster seems dislocated from the assembly and turning it in any direction does nothing to adjust the height of the beam. Plz help. Thanks!
