You can try adjusting the headlight bracket when you take the headlight out. It has a little bit of play but not much.

There's isn't much play in the brackets as they're designed to not add play into your headlamp adjustments...you probably need to adjust the aiming of the projectors themselves...

Exactly... One side will be different than the other, no way around it.

Just be patient. Took me like 4 times of re-doing it before I got it right on my first time.

Common problem on Cobalts.
