Adjust headlights

Hey guys,

So I went to install my fwi today and what do you know that just as i get the headlight off and start trying to remove the fender bracket(that back bolt is a b*tch to get to, any suggestions on removing it?), clouds roll in out of nowhere and starts pouring. Got to rush and get everything back together and then I'm good.

Well, now my drivers side headlight is way high, and was wondering how I adjust it. I havent had a chance to look at it in light yet, and im sure its something simple like just something you screw or adjust, but figured id ask so i know tomorrow when i go to fix it up. So, how do i lower it?

Thanks
 


There are two plastic tabs on the headlight bracket. It's easy to miss one of them when reinstalling the headlights, which will cause the headlight to be very wobbly and aimed wrong. I'd take the headlight out and make sure both tabs are inserted first.

If that's not the problem, there are two E8 Torx screws used to adjust the headlight. They're located on top of the plastic bracket. The inboard one is for side to side adjustments, and the outboard one (on the corner near the turn signal) is for up/down adjustments.
