My lamp got shifted a bit inside from the bumper about half an inch. I was wondering if I can move it back into place. The body shop wants 75 dollars to do it, but I don't want to give them that much money for 10-20 minutes of work.

 

Im assuming either your headlight or fog lamp.

[edit]got this from FAQ thread[/edit]
How do I reaim my headlights / foglights?

The adjustment bolt closer to the parking/corner lights (outboard of the vehicle) is for the up/down aiming of the headlamp. The one further inboard is to control the right/left aiming of the lamp. You'll need a 10mm wrench to perform the aiming task.

To do the height adjustment, park your car so that the headlamp lens faces are about 25 feet from a wall. This wall should be perpendicular to the ground and level in all aspects. Measure the distance from the center of your headlamps to the ground. Mark this dimension on the wall. From this mark, move down 3.75" to 4" and make another mark. Begin to turn the adjustment bolt so that the centers of your low beam patterns land on that second mark that you made. As for your right to left adjustment, mark the centers vertically and aim so that they point straight out. Bear in mind that sometimes adjusting the right/left bolt can change the setting of the height adjustment slightly.

By the way, the foglamps can be aimed the same way. The foglights are 8mm.
