Uneven headlights

On my 91 240sx my headlights are uneven when I do the sleepy eye. If there all the way down or up there even, but once I do the sleepy eye by tapping my headlight hold switch the driver side one is a bit higher when I do it. So is one of my motors shot? or is it out for adjustment? I'm lost. Thank you

One of the motors is probably just slower than the other. I don't have an s13 but I think you can adjust the little gears to offset it a bit.

yes sir you can to the left and right of each headlight.. there is a motor. you pop the top off and adjust the height. also remove the bezel around the light.

you adjust the beam with the two screws

Alright well I knew that I can adjust them up or down with the red **** on each side. but once the lights cycle up and down they go right back to normal. I think my driver side motor is slower cause I watched them today and my passenger side stopped a split second before the other
