I had considered that; however, I inserted and removed the assembly several times. I will check it again just in case.

Can it lock in place and sit flush with the bodywork if it's not in the rails?

also the black plastic tray can be adjusted so you dont have to adjust the light to the limit.

Now that I can not recall. Did mine last year, but it needs to sit back it its craddle. I believe it needs to slide under some tabs at the back.

Can you post a pic of how the headlight sits in the body? When I changed headlights I found I had to make a substantial change to the tray adjustment on one side in order for the headlight to align properly with the fender, hood, and bumper.

I don't think you could lock it down without breaking something if you were not properly in the rails.

Thanks guys, I will take photos of the fit tonight. The seal is tight and the headlights are flush with the bodywork.

Just home from work, here are some pics of the light. I'm going to go back down to the garage and take another look at things.

Garage
The headlamps look like they're popped in right. Are you sure you turned the correct set of knobs? There's a set for vertical adjustment as well as horizontal beam aim. If you turned the horizontal knobs by accident, the beam would not roll up or down at all.
