Being finicky, I have noticed one of my lights could do with sliding a couple of mm inwards, is there some adjustment somewhere?

Check that the plastic pod is on the inside of the collar on the tilt shaft, you should be able to get a slight adjustment by releasing the screws and speed nuts. I am also very fussy about shut lines. Spent ages adjusting the bonnet

There's shims for the inner wing pivot bracket to help move the pod inboard a mm or two

There's a few to many ways you can adjust. 3 nuts at each side off light, one been inside the wing. Then there's rod, and springs, Also the mounting point for the pop up rod.

That's all providing your badge pannle and wings are in the right place.
