Headlight adjustment help
My headlight on the driver side is not flush with car lines and is not going up when I turn on my headlights. A couple of turns with the manual **** and I can turn them on and it pops right up. Can some please instruct me on how to properly adjust the headlights so I can get this headlight flush.

As far as the headlight not going up, it may be a stripped gear - do you hear any grinding noise when you turn them on?
To adjust the alignment of the headlight with the surrounding body panels:
- manually raise headlight
- remove the 3 screws holding the black trim bezel and remove the bezel
- remove the 4 black screws (2 in back close together and 1 on each side) that hold the headlight cover on
- carefully remove the headlight cover
- adjust the 4 white plastic adjuster screws up or down as needed to get it flush
- reinstall everything
It's harder to explain than do - it took me a couple of tries to get it right - 1/2 hour max.
Good luck.
