Subject: Re: washed my car.. pics by captmike13 on 2008/4/11 5:10:52 Here is what I was sent. Hope this helps. The headlight housing cover is held onto the headlight drive housing by a couple of small torx head screws just under the headlight and a phillips head screw on each outside towards the rear. You can see them with the hood open. The headlight hood plate is held on by two bolts with 9 or 10mm heads just under the headlight cover, and a couple more at the back end under the headlight bulb. If you turn on the headlights and then at the midpoint of their swing open/out, push the knob back in just until the power to the lights stops, you can get at all of the screws and bolts. You can also use the manual motor screw on top of the headlight motors to manually rotate each headlight to the midway point. You don't need to remove anything to make the adjustment. Just loosen the headlight hood plate cover bolts a bit and tweak the plate until it sits flush. This may take a few attempts to get it exactly right, as you have to close the headlights each time to check your results. It my be a bit frustrating to get it perfect, but once you do, you will probably never have to do it again, as replacing a burned out headlamp doesn't require removing the hood plate. There are also two bump stops that can be adjusted that look like the ones for the hood. They are what stop the headlamp assembly when rotating. These may be all you need to adjust to make your covers fit flush. |
