When my headlights close, they are rubbing on the outside front of the fender cut out. Does anyone know how to adjust the assembly? Thanks

I believe that there are 3 screws that hold the top of the headlight cover on. Loosen them a bit so that you can move the cover, close it and check the fit. You may have to adjust it a few times until you get it to seat properly.

Did you ever get this adjusted? If not, you may have to take off the actual light cover. To do this you have to take off the black part that surrounds the light. Once this is done you can adjust the actual fit of the light assy. I just did it today and had the same problem. You may have to make the adjustments several time to get it right. Goodluck in case you haven't did it yet.
