Default 6th gen headlight assembly install help

I'm unable to aim the headlight on the driver side. I've tried both adjustment ***** on the back of the assembly and they don't do anything. Last summer I had a pickup back into me. The body shop replaced the headlight and ever since then I haven’t been able to aim it at all. I want to pull the headlight and see if it's ok and installed correctly. What are the installation steps? I've heard that I need to pull the front bumper, anyone have directions on how to do that? Thanks!


I would just take it back to the shop that did the repair but I'm pretty sure it's been too long since the repair.

I never even thought to search under recent posts, I just automatically seached the archived content. I was wondering why I didn't see that. Thanks!

In addition to the pic in that link, I had to remove a few more screws in the wheel well and under the hood to loosen the fenders. I wouldnt call it a quick procedure, but its not incredibly complicated.

you don't need to take the fenders off... there's a bracket under the headlight (3 12mm bolts per bracket) that needs to be removed, and of course the bolt on top of the headlight assembly.
