headlight alignment

alright so as you can see from the pic, my headlight sags a little bit and isn't aligned. Any ideas? Could I shim it up somehow? or should I just tweak the headlight body?

Thanks,
Ron

Ohh good question mine does that too. Do yours go down by themselves? Mine dont and I have messed with it a bunch of times trying to figure it all out.

for your saggy light, there should be an adjustment screw built into the stopper.

Ian, your problem sounds like you blew a fuseable link (they're up on the left/driver's side strut tower in the engine bay)

Manntis, my fusible links have been replaced. I am to the point now where I think it is a faulty/corroded wire. Most of the plugs have a bunch of corrosion. Is there an easy way to clean it off other than scraping it off with a knife? Is there some sort of spray that eats the corrosion off? I figured out what each wire does on a previous project and am durrently troubleshooting all the wires.
