I know i can adjust them like that but i want the knob inside the car to work and the cables going from the servo to the housing are rusted and wont turn! Thats why i was looking for the cables i will probally end up making my own since i dont want to pay $1600 for a new set of jdm mr headlights.

This guy is selling the guts off a set of JDM headlights...maybe he has the parts you are looking for.

the cables only adjust the high beams. low beams are directly adjusted by the adjuster motor

i pulled mine off; if you really want them i'll sell them to you

just to clarify, these are the mechanical cables that connect the headlight adjuster on the low beam to the high beam so that they adjust together?

the cable circled in red in this image:

leave the cables off - the design is terrible - adjust them with a 5mm socket..

I just ordered these wrenches last night so this job will be easier...
