Default Headlight

I recently bought a 96 corvette and have a question about the headlight. When the lights are off, flipped down, the driver side light cover doesn’t rest flush across the hood , the bottom corner sinks a little below the hood. Lights seem to work fine , but is there a way to adjust this?

Yes, loosen the screws on the lower front edge of the cover and push it up.

I think there are limit screws that are adjustable for the open and closing of the door on the underside of door.

Thanks, I found a video demonstrating the alignment. You have to disconnect the battery, manually open the lights halfway, take off the headlight cover , and then there’s two screw on the front and two screw on the back side that when loosened allow you to adjust each corner of the cover. Just have to keep checking it till you get it dialed in.
