Firebird headlight assembly adjustment?
Is there a procedure for adjusting the headlight assembly to match the body? Or do you just loosen everything and try to line it up?
TIA

All of the mounting brackets are slotted, so you can adjust the headlight bucket up/down and side to side. You can also adjust the up and down stops for the headlight bucket as well. Those are done by tuning in or out the plastic hex-head screws.
