Headlight Assembley Replacement

I thought that I would install some new bulbs for my headlights. THOUHGT it would be easy enough but BOY was I wrong. I installed them but could not get them aligned right. I adjusted the horizantal screw located at the top of the headlight but it did not do the job. I decided to bring it in to have the Dodge dealer do it. No problem he said, It's tough for you but for us we have a "special tool" he says that enables them to install the bulbs. Twenty minutes goes by and I'm thinking that the $89 dollars he quoted me was BS but I waited till they finished. He comes back and says that my driver side headlight screw adjuster thingy is STRIPPED, I turned it four times....that's it! And therfore they can't adjust the head unit up or down and now I have to replace the WHOLE headlight unit for that side....$300 DOLLARS!!!!! I am never messing with my "D" again!
