Not really sure what to adjust on these headlights

If you look at the pics, one is the right headlight up and the other the left. The one with the larger gap is what I'm trying to figure out. I don't know why it sits like that. The alignment with the hood line is good as well as the fender line gap. It's the front that's off.

Re: Not really sure what to adjust on these headlights

I have some tweaks to make to mine for fit....maybe. I'll be interested to see what folks have to say on this.

Gotta be honest....when my lights are on/up, I'm inside the car. I have no idea where mine sit.

Re: Not really sure what to adjust on these headlights

Got it sorted. Very tedious procedure though. There are about 9 bolts on that headlight unit that all can be adjusted. Plus the hood stops on the front as well. The headlight doors themselves can be adjusted too. After playing with various combinations I finally got them where I wanted them. But it took hours.
