Headlight assembly retaining bracket....have you changed or installed one ?

[boxxster]

I had to reinstall one last winter after having my fender repainted. It was an enormous PITA to get the headlight to sit right. The problem is that you can't tighten it with the headlight in it so it's a lot of guess and check. I remember having to add some small washers under a few of the corners to get the height of the headlight perfectly flush with the fender. All in all it took me like 3 hours but I'm a bit of a perfectionist.
