Headlight assembly tilted in fender
 
I just noticed that one of my headlights is slightly out of alignment with the fender.
The top is slightly recessed and the bottom sticks out slightly. The other headlight is perfect. Its not a lot out, maybe 1/8 "

I did some searching and a few threads mention it can be adjusted, but no instructions

Look in owners manual
 
Look at the procedure for changing the headlight and make sure the tightening process is correct.

Not in the owners manual, that is only for adjusting the bulbs in the reflector
Its not the bulbs that need adjustment, it the entire assembly

I know how to rempve and replace the the assembly. Its out of alignment

Hopefully you don't have to adjust the tray. I had to completely adjust it when I installed a new fender. It took me a while to figure it out.
