Adjusting headlight tilt... help please!!!

I seriously need help here... i changed the bulbs on my high beams (95 lantis hatch) and now they point straight at the ground!

I've done a search on the topic and found the screws which supposedly adjust the tilt but they do NOTHING!

Can anyone help please? I'm sure I have the bulbs inserted correctly. I found the picture that was from the mazda dealer with the drawing, and i have tried turning every screw but nothing happens

help please, thanks

sounds like the light hasn't clipped in place correctly....try refitting th light before totally freaking out!!!

i dunno how the lights clip in, but i presume its a small wire prong, which clips behind the light fixture
