bixenon retrofit rotational adjustment

hi everyone im new to this site, ive already introduced myself in the 1st gear section. anyways i have the 25w retrofit xenon headlights w/o auto level and washer in my 2012 r56 and i noticed the passenger side projector is rotated a little to the right, is there a way to adjust the rotation of it so its level with the driver side? i know there is an up and down adjuster but i could not find another adjuster on the lights. thanks!

From those 4 mounts to the under-hood. They adjust in/ out with the threaded nut. Then you can adjust rotation to the left and right with the placement of the compressed tabs/ bolt adjustment that is on the thread part. As for rotation it can be the placement of those tightening down bolts in reference to the thread bolt hole. Not much maybe a couple mm.

So the 4 bolts that hold the headlight in can be loosened and then I have some wiggle room to adjust the rotation a little right?

Yea, just the bolts with that tab holder. Undo all four and wiggle a bit . The top tab that is flat you have to watch as it cannot be twisted that much.
