I had the same problem and it turned out to be the bulb not sitting flush in its holder..

No, removed bulb, bent the spring hook that holds the bulb in to give it more pressure, made sure the bulb was sat in properly and that was it - my symptoms were EXACTLY the same as yours, I thought the adjusters had popped off internally, but no, it was literally the bulb not being in just right.

In that case, maybe the adjuster has actually come off the inside of yours.. :(

You have to remove your front bumper to get the lights out - just so you know mate.

The bulb isn't wired up wrong on that side is it?

When I picked up the JDM I thought the dipped headlight on one side looked wrong and it turned out to the connector was connected to the main beam filament instead of the dipped filament.
(Uses conventional dip/main twin filament bulbs, but only uses one of the filaments on the dipped side)
