Default *Headlight Adjustment On 37 Pickup*

Take a look at the piccs. My headlight on the passengers side is pointing down much more than the drivers side. I took the light out on the passengers side and did not see any adjustments inside. The only thing I can see is maybe shimming g up under the headlight post that attacheS to the fender. Can someone help out here.

Hi, I believe the adjustment is by swiveling the whole assembly by loosening the Bolt that goes through the mount and aiming the light as needed. Hope this helps. kerk

Like Kirk says above, try loosening the big nut on the bottom side of fender support bracket that holds the headlight bucket. When loosened, grab the headlight and re-aim it toward the heavens. Possibly, the pic below will make it clear what is happening. DD
