Let me ask..... I recently added the LED headlights shown at Okteenerfest and kinda slap-assed assembled the carrier and cover for the HL. I suppose these bolts should be used to fine tune the level of "closed" that you want on your HLs?

These would be used to adjust the headlight assembly in the headlight bucket. The should not have changed unless you removed the assemblies when installing the LEDs

If still available, I’ll take them.

Yes I did remove them. The new HLs did not fit the Late Model brackets. There is a U-plate that grabs the big bolt when the lights are up at high speed. The design of the U-plate on the late model cars hits the back of the lamp. Specifically the cooling fins of the lamp. The early model design has clearance.

So I had to remove both swivel brackets, took the time to paint the inside of the buckets BLACK, reassembled and DAMMIT the light covers are not flush when closed. So I was confirming my slap-assed install. And warning folks with Late Model cars that buy those lights. I have a thread on here somewhere.
