Headlight question
My headlight on the left side will not go down when I turn the lights off unless I lightly lift up on the headlight housing. When I lift up on the housing the light goes down with no problem. I have no problems with the right side. Is there a simple adjustment to fix this?
Thanks,
Ron

The originals were corroded and pulling away from the mount allowing the whole headlight assembly to drop lower. It might be your bracket or it might be the mounting bar that glues to the underside of the nose. That glue lets loose after 30 years.

for adjustment help. Check the support bar first to make sure it hasn't come unattached or rusted through.
