Head light closing position adjustment?
My driver's side headlight does not quite close far enough. What do I need to do to adjust it to close properly? It probably needs to go down another 1/4-1/2".

Is it just the cover or the whole light housing? If its just the cover - take off the black headlight surround and you'll find two screws on the front of the headlight cover and two on the back which give room for adjustment.
If it's the whole light, there's a manual adjustment inside the engine bay outside the body headlight frame, it has a rubber boot on it which you can pull off and you'll find a red **** which you can turn manually to lower / raise the headlight.
I'll try to find a picture...

One of my lights is out of alignment too and it's not the cover, can the entire light bracket be realigned or something? It needs to go down about 1/4 - 1/2" the same as the OP's vehicle.

There is no adjustment up or down. However, the headlight brackets are secured on the inside and rear (as well as a few bolts on the top) of the bracket. If those bolts aren't on the inside and rear, then the whole assembly will bow up a little and cause the entire part to sit a little higher.

There is a write up on here somewhere on how to modify the motors to have the lights stop in a different position to get the sleepy eye look. If you pull the fuse and adjust the light position to the sleepy eye position you want they will always have to remain in that position, where as if the motor modification is done then the head lights will move up and down normally (just not as high as original) . If you haven't had any luck searching for how to do the sleepy eye mod. perhaps majik with his amazing search skills can find it for you.
