Default How to adjust headlight housing on a trans am????

I want to align the headlights with my WS6 hood, there is a slight gap between the headlights and the hood (maybe 1/4th inch or so) i cant figure out how to move the housing.. all i can see that might move it are the 2 bolts on top... can anyone help me out?

The lid can be adjusted via 4 hex-head (bolt-head) screws:
* 2 in back which are visible with the hood up and headlights down
* 1 in the front and 1 on the side (fender-side) visible with the headlights up
Remove the plastic cover around the headlights (3 screws - left, middle, right).
You'll see how the lid has 4 perpendicular tabs secured using the aforementioned 4 hex-head screws.

Before removing the screws that secure the lid, use a pencil to trace around each of the 4 screw heads as a point of reference (comes in handy when you have to remove the lid and later go to put it back). Its not perfect though since the screws screw into threaded inserts which can/do move.
