It's a common failure. The fluid in the system leaks out and replacing it isnt an easy task. If you need headlamp adjustment then fitting the electric ones from a later model is the way to go.

they all die, the fluid is actually similar to antifreeze.

you can adjust the lights by truning the knurled portion of the adjuster on the rear of the lights
