Is there a way to adjust the lateral headlight alignment?

Adjusting the vertical alignment is easy but I'm not finding how to adjust the horizontal alignment ..

I don't believe there is an ability to adjust horizontally as the entire head assembly is bolted to frame components with no adjustment mechanism.

If you need to adjust the horizontal alignment, you likely need to have the frame looked at.  OR you have an aftermarket headlight that isn't quite up to par with OEM.

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Well that's disappointing.  the headlight assembly is definitely OEM, and car fax was clean unless it wasn't 'claimed' .. so the question is do your cars beams converge ?  Mine hard converge a short distance away and really don't do much to illuminate the sides of the roads on the dims.

i wonder if i can loosen the assembly and shim it and tighten it back up ..
