headlights too low

i went to adjust my headlights to day in the garage on my 65 c10 and they are off the ground 2 ft from 10 ft away i do not think thats high enough but when i went to adjust them i cannot get them to move up any it just wants to strip the adjuster screw and they are brand new seems like they should adjust up more or is this high enough to see alright

Re: headlights too low

Sometimes the headlight bucket will get stuck to the grille. I would take it out, clean it real good and a little lube should bring it back to life.
