Headlight Not Flush With Hood
Left headlight (when closed) is not perfectly flush with hood...needs a slight adjustment. Looks like it can be done by loosening those 2 torx screws you see when hood is raised. Am i correct? If so...anyone know what size torx?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Remove the black plastic cover surrounding the light fixture and you will see two more torx screws, one on each side.

Yeah, actually there are 4 screws....Take the black plastic surround off to access them all if the **** adjustment doesn't work for you. Vol 3 chap 8 in the service manuals has all the details.

The headlight lids are quite easy to adjust if you understand how they work. Under the lid is an adjustment plate. This plate allows adjustment in all directions including rotation. It also has elevation adjustment screws on all four corners. To access this plate, remove the black mask, remove the four TORX screws holding the lid in place and lift it off. This will reveal the adjustment plate. It will take a few iteretions to get the lid where you want it.
