I don't think that's possible. The whole headlamp assembly appears to move up/down and left/right as a unit.

Hey you are absolutely correct. I just verified it moves as a whole assembly on my driver side headlamp. But on this passenger side headlamp it is not moving as complete assembly. the height adjustment screw only moves my high beam reflector and the lens is just sitting at its lowest point touching the inside assembly at its bottom edge as its broken n fallen down.
any suggestions ?

that's a panel gap adjustment

That lens you posted is so jacked i think it might have broken inside though.

I have the same problem. I broke the back and use my hand to push it higher. Then I glue them back. That is the only way to fix it Some time you are on the road and hit a Bump that cause the problem

It happened to me 6 months ago. When I hit a bump on the road. My dealer say no way to fix that instead of change to the new one. I just try broken the back side then use my finger to push the metal up. They will stay there back to normal. It is the only way to fix them. Make sure you use a black plastic and a bond glue to seal them. I did not have any thing wrong so far wash my car a lot and they are fine til now. Good luck

The best bond glue ( black or clear is ok )

good afternoon. I also have a problem with my headlight, it is illuminating 10% higher than the right, I can't manually lower it, is it possible with the software connected to the car to adjust the headlight through the engine inside the headlight?

Thanks
