The tails do come apart, but you have to dremel them apart and then reseal them with something. Im looking at pulling mine apart soon, so Ill try and do a good write up. I dont know why taillights are soo different then headlights (As far as the bonding the lens to the housing is concerned), but all the headlights and tails Ive done are this way.
cutting them in half does not count as coming apart lol.
but i would like to see what your plans are when you are done!

I sent phraust a PM just today, I didn't have any luck either. I would put the screwdriver in the hole the diagram shows, and it just felt like it was hitting the top of the headlight. I believe I will end up having to use the 10mm bolts on the back of the headlight to make the adjustments, and will do so this weekend when I have the intake and charge pipes out to install my new ETS ones.
The factory air box makes it next to impossible to get a ratchet down there.

Grab a flashlight and make sure your screwdriver is about 8 inches long. Look from behind the headlights and it should be going through a metal hole that guides you into the motor

Im pulling my hair out with this adjustment crap, omg.
I went to three different places and got three different screw drivers to try this. I could not find a 3/16x8 philips screwdriver anywhere. They were all 2x8 which was WAY too big.
I ended up buying a 3/16x8 flat tip, which fits in the hole but does absolutely nothing. I read on another thread on this forum that you can use a 5mm socket to just move the whole motor. Sounds like thats what I'll be doing.

If you have the SSS then it doesn't matter, the reflector part you think is the high beams is only for the DRL's. The high beams are in the projector housing for the SSS, it uses bi-xenons and it doesn't matter.
