I've had some issues with my popup lights not aligning properly. When both are closed one side is abit lower than the other. I took apart both popup mechanisms and played with the adjustments by popping out the rod (not just turning the **** as that's not related) and repositioning it multiple times.
Since the headlights are usually down I aligned it so it would be flush when down. However that totally screws them up when the lights pop up, one end is lower than the other!

Would buying one of those universal sleepy eye headlight adjustment thingies but hooking it up to one side allow me to have perfect alignment? Or would that not work ? Any other suggestions? I'd like to keep my popups

 

Typically, what needs to be adjusted is the headlight cover not necessarily the headlight itself. Have you tried adjusting the cover only?

 

I didn't realize there was a cover adjustment? I also have the KS lights like you but this alignment really sucks not due to the KS tho I dont think.

 

You have to adjust the height of the KS cover and the rear part of the cover where you have the two screws. It's takes a few tries to get it where you want it.

 

I've done that and still can't get enough adjustment, it's the passenger light thats lower in the front. If i pop the front up the back part where the two screws are will rub the hood.

 

I have this same issue...with the headlights down and battery connected, if I try and turn the **** to raise it, it gets to a certain point and just zips back and scares the crap out of me each time! Not sure what this is about...if I do it with the battery disconnected, as soon as it is reconnected, it zips back again...

 

Thats because the **** isn't meant for permanent adjustment the **** is just a backup to turn up your headlight incase the motor fails. It will resetback to default position once u turn them on.
