Default Another Headlight Adjustment Question??

I have a 2000 Coup & consider myself to be somewhat of a perfectionist. It bothers me that when my headlights are closed that one doesn't shut quite as flush with the hood as the other. (They work fine otherwise) I've heard that there is some type of adjustment that is located under the headlight itself. So my question is, does anyone have any pictures or directions on how I can adjust them to be more flush with the hood. Thanks!

there are 4 star screws that hold the lid on, after you get the black side cover off. Once you get that off there are 4 adjustment screws to align the lid, it will take alot of trail & error. Becarefull of the tab on the back of the lid, that is the piece that allways breaks, so don't overtighten.
Hope that helps

Without pics I'll explain best I can. First remove the black filler around the headlamp assembly be removing 4 screws. Then you can access the torx screws on the back and side of the color lid. Once you remove these screws the lid is off the headlamp and the adjustment can begin.
