From there you can slightly lift up the headlight mount enough to use your finger to lower or raise the nut underneath that the bracket sits on.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've got something for you. Like you the gap on my left headlight was a few mm wider than my right and was driving me *$%&ing nuts . I even took off the bumper to see if it was sagging or any pieces were broken. Couldn't find anything. Then I got smrt. I popped out the headlights and found these. How to: There are three level adjustments that lower or raise the headlight mount allowing you to "lower" the headlight to close the gap. One is 10mm and the other two are 18mm. Loosen the chosen nut all the way off. From there you can slightly lift up the headlight mount enough to use your finger to lower or raise the nut underneath that the bracket sits on. There's about 2-3mm of vertical movement available. Presto!

POST 2Original post

Excellent to know! There are quite a few threads on the gap but nothing ever describing how to fix it!

POST 3Original post

Those nuts may be the ones used to adjust the night level of the head lamps. Make sure you are not blinding drivers approaching you when you are on dipped headlights. I would have the level tested via a testing station.

The workshop manual explains how to check the headlight level. All you need is a wall from memory.

POST 5Original post

I tried this, it did make a small difference. I think it is the part that holds the side of the bumper up. need to take the bumper off so its a job for another day
