I have a 2000, 9-5 Saab Wagon. I needed to adjust the horizontal aim of the
passenger headlight. I accidentally ran the adjustment to the leftmost
position stop. It seems the adjustment is stuck at the left most position.
When I turn the plastic adjustment screw I feel sense that something is
grinding but no movement.

Does this mean I need to get another passenger headlight assembly?. Is it
possible to remove the headlight and fix it?

Thanks

Hopefully, the 9-5 headlight glass is removable like it is on my 9-3,
and held on by nasty spring clips. Once the glass is off, you should
be able to dismantle the reflector and adjusters to find out what's
wrong.

Cheers,

Colin.
