How to adjust
headlight doors?

I'm talking about getting them flush and square
in the closed position.

The shaft that goes into the frame has 2 rings on it (1
each side) w/ a torx nut in it. W/ these you adjust the
sideway position of the lamps. The fore/aft & heaght of
the rear of the door can be adjusted by loosening the 3 screws
in guideplate, in the back of the frame (where the shaft goes
though).

If you get under your C3, there is a ~1ft^2
opening where you can view the springs and pivot joints that
operate your headlight. The actuator provides the initial push
to open and close the headlight and the springs finish the
movement. There will be two springs connected to a large rod
(diam 0.25", 4" long) that will have a large eye bolt in the
center. (SEE THE POSTED PICTURE ABOVE, THE EYE BOLT IS THE
BRIGHT SILVER ONE; NOTE THE SPRINGS CONNECTED ON EACH END) The
eye bolt is connected to the actuator rod/arm. Remove both
springs connected to the rod, and remove the rod. The number
of turns of the eye bolt controls the height of the headlight.
Using trial and error turn the eye bolt, then reinsert the
rod, and drop the headlight. Continue doing this until it is
flush. When flush, reconnect you're springs and you should be
a happy camper.

Cheers,

Stephen
