Look down the side of the headlight in the engine bay and your see a rubber cover lift off and your see a red
knob wit a arrow on it turn it to raise the lights

Yes,
Take off the rubber cover at the back of the lid.
This reviles a Red knob, turn in the direction of the arrow. To raise the lid

Remember :idea:
You can raise the headlights on the switch.
Pull the RETA yellow 20amp, from the main fuse board under the hood.
The headlight units will stay up.
Allowing you to turn off the switch, to change bulb, or headlight units.

But, BEWARE :!:, putting back the fuse, the lids will snap closed :o
So, keep your fingers out of the way :lol:

Sorry to piggyback off this thread but how can i adjust the positioning of the headlights physically in the car (not the beam)?
When close the offside headlight has about 2mm clearance on one side and about 7mm on the other whilst the nearside headlight has around 4mm each side. Its buggin me - thought i would ask. (Though i have other more pressing issues with my Probe atm)

Garage removed it when the car was getting resprayed. When I went over the car there were a few snagging issues that they have agreed to sort out once it is mobile again. The headlamp unit position is one of the things they agreed to sort out.
