Default Headlight Gap and Bezel Removal

Does anyone know how to adjust the headlight to bumper gap? I've tried the screws behind the cover and under the front bezel but it doesn't seem to allow adjustment of the spacing between cover, hood and bumper.

Also, anyone know how to remove the bezel? mine won't clear the gap between the light lense and the bumper.

Cheers,

Open hood and remove the two torx screws on the back.

Manually raise light and remove the three screws holding on the plastic shroud.

Two more torx screws holding the lid down one D/S and one P/S.

Pull lid off.

Underneath you will see 4 white or grayish height adjusters and 4 torx bits at each corner.

The torx bits are the ones you want to adjust to move left, right, forward and aft.

It is time consuming to get it right! measure your starting point!

This is all from memory, but i have a good one!!!
