The head lights adjust more than you think. Like others, I line up the gaps on the hood and spend the rest of the time adjusting the headlights and then the valence.
On the ABM, I had to adjust the latch too. Something changed when all the parts were zinc coated... Little stuff makes it a pain to line up. |

I was able to make a big improvement. Not perfect...yet, but much better. Thanks! |

I know all about how the headlights work. How about I put a huge sign on the front bumper of the car that warns small children and old ladies how dangerous the headlights are? Would that make you happy? Get off my six (so to speak) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/KMA.gif) Sorry - I was trying to be helpful. It won't happen again. |

I am working this problem right now - I have EVERYTHING lined up perfectly with the exception of the LEFT (when facing forward) eye-brow.
I have new nipples (thank you 914rubber), the part fits perfectly -however- the headlight cover hits the innermost corner of the eyebrow. I have tried to: - adjust the headlight mounting via the inner/outer hex-bolts - move, in a very small way, the headlight covers (perhaps a mil) - bending the mounting bracket to try and move the eye-brow forward. There was never any damage to the front of the car. None of the assemblies were rebuilt due to rust which may have moved the mount points, etc.. This is a real puzzle????? Will add pictures later today. Has anyone had this perplexing experience?
