Default headlight removal question. My car did not have

the fourth bolts holding the headlight in on the outside edges of the lights. Any ideas why?

UPDATE: I have the headlights completely apart!

Default That's all I have. But if I'm reading this fotki correctly, it says I should have four.

Default then the correct count is 5....there are two adjustment screws>>>

but they are part of the housing. There are two tab bolts on top, and one mounting screw on the inside tab....that is it.

Default Another question*** My headlight housings don't have the rubber plug covering the hole through

which the angel eyes instructions say to run the wiring. Did anyone else have to go a different route because of this?

Should I just drill the hole out and not worry about the rubber plug stopping it up later?

TIA
