Adjust headlights when closed - not the same
Hey all,
Is there a way to adjust the headlights when they are closed? I just bought this and am noticing they are not even when closed. The passenger side is ever so slightly open versus the drivers side.
Seller claimed no accidents and car fax was clean so I'm not sure if this is common or a sign of a previous accident....

Your pop up lids are probably in need of an adjustment. This can happen over time and does not indicate the car was in an accident. Remove the lids by removing the plastic shrouds and then remove the two screws in the rear of the lids that face the engine bay. After you remove the lids, you will see the vertical adjusters that you need to raise or lower in order to get the lids to align flush with the hood, front fascia, and fenders. It may take a few attempts and you may need to open/close the lights a few times. Enjoy!

I'll look for the adjusters your referencing tomorrow.
