Rotating projector inside headlight

Wondering if anyone has had the same problem I do. My 07 TSX has the passenger-side HID projector rotated a bit clockwise, which messes up the cutoff on both sides.

The adjustment on the headlight itself is only up-down -- and my acura dealer doesn't know how to adjust it CW/CCW. Has anyone had the same problem? Any fixes? Help!

Would sticking my hand into the back of the headlight and grabbing the projector to rotate counter-clockwise solve this?

That isn't adjustable outside of the headlight. Up/down is rectified by simply using the phillips screwdriver but CW/CCW can only be rectified by opening up the headlight. My guess is that the mounting points of the projector unit and the back housing isn't fully bolted on, causing a shift with respect to left/right, not up/down. The projector isn't able to be rotated so the entire projector unit (the piece that attaches the projector) has been shifted.

I'll move this thread to the 1GEN TSX section. Perhaps you can get some help there.

LMTLS - I've already PM'd you butt I believe he would get the most help in the 3rd gen TL section.
We have lots of lighting and projector experts.
thanks,
Justin
