Default More Headlight Problems/ Questions

I know there are many threads on the headlight problems including the excellent one on how to use screws to adjust.

My question may already have been answered and I probably missed it.

Sometimes my headlights seem to be pointing too low. If I turn them off and back on it sometimes fixes the problems. This is not a constant occurrence. Is this something that can be easily (inexpensively) fixed or do I need to go the screw adjustment route?

i only have a bad driver side. I did the high beam wiggle test and sure enough the mechanism moves..pointing to broken adjuster. As I had no time to get to the store to get a screw, I actually used a thick zip tie,and zipped it around the back of the high beam bulb and around the small rigid tube directly behind the bulb. This actually solved the 'light to low" issue and all is good. Of course when it comes time to change the bulb i have to redo it....or just do the screw fix...
