headlight bucket assembly adjustment question?
I am trying to figure out how to adjust my 69 headlight door to fit nice and center in the opening when it is closed, but It is hard to see where the adjustment would be, does anybody know?
Thanks,
Darren

On my 82 and I assume yours is the same there are two pivoting arms that fit into a socket on each side of the bucket housing. For side to side adjustment there is a large ring with a set screw on each side. These screws are loosened, the bucket is then centered side to side and the rings tightened as you hold the rings tight against the pivot socket. For front to back adjustment the three screws that hold the socket must be loosened then position the housing and tighten. Reaching those three screws can be alot of fun. I hope this makes some sense.

He also forgot to mention how to adjust the front height of the light when they are down. You need to turn the headlight actuator rod link clevis to adjust this. It looks like:
