Default 2001 headlight doors

My 01 Vert has the right headlight door slightly high. How do you make the adjustments to bring it down? I see the adjuster but I'm afraid to turn it for fear of going the wrong way and causing damage. This is my wifes pride and joy and if I damage it, well you know the story. Thanks in advance for any help.

also dont know what adjusters you see, but dont confuse the adjusters for aiming the headlights with those under the cover which are used to actually adjust the cover.

Is it just the headlight cover that is high or the entire headlight? If it is just the cover then you need to remove the black surround then you can get access to the torx screws used to adjust the headlight cover. Use the manual **** to lift the headlight. You will need to loosen all of the torx screws on the cover in order to make adjustments.
