Default headlights won't adjust....

Hello, my passenger side headlight is loose and will not adjust. I can look into the housing and see on the right side of the headlight that the adjustment screw has broken the plastic that it was once in. What is that plastic piece called and where can I find a new one at? the headlight is way out of adjustment and I have no idea what the body piece is called...thank you

I would look at a junkyard or buy new but I don't know what the piece is called and the jy around here wont let you look around, you have to ask them if they have a specific part and they will look it up....I just cant wonder around....

It's your head light adjuster. You can pick them up at any auto parts store.
