Default Headlight Adjusting Problem

I tried adjusting my headlights using a screw driver and I am not getting any new results. The adjustment seem to be at the same spot. Could there be something wrong with my headlights? any tips? i did that 25 feet from wall thingie and still shineing at same spot. For some reason my ek doesnt have that green bubble thing to see how line up everything is.

I didn't realize any cars came with an alignment bubble. Anyway, what you want to is use an 8mm socket. With the screwdriver method you're actually turning a gear that turns a bolt. There are 2 bolts for each light. One for vertical, one for horizontal. You need to locate those. Since you know where the screwdriver goes, you can use common sense to locate those. You're supposed to pull up to the wall and mark with and X (with tape) where the brightest part of your beam should be. After that, go straight back 25 feet and align the headlights so the brightest part is a quarter inch right and down from the center of the Xs.
