removing head light
how hard is to remove the headlight?
i don't think they are aligned properly after getting it back from the shop, they adjust it twice, but not perfect yet, so i want to do it my self if t isnt too much trouble

Haha. Tommy, it's actually done on purpose so that you don't blind oncoming traffic and retain vision of the curb/sidewalk on your passenger's side. If you want to straighten your lights out, there's a white little screw that you can turn on top of the housing to adjust it. That'll straighten out your headlights. No need to remove anything.

+1 you don't need to take your headlights out. If you open your hood and stand in front of the light and look straight down you will see a white allen key shaped hole. Simply stick in your allen key (I believe 1/4 or close) or you can use an appropriately sized flat head. Make sure you park facing a wall, it looks like it will only raise about 1-2 inches after a couple of turns, but those couple of inches translate into pretty big distances on the road, it took me about 2 days to perfectly adjust the lights so that they are high, but still don't bling people.
This si with the P1 package (halogens) I am not sure if P2 has this.
