Default newbie need Headlight help

i noticed this the other day on my vette that i got for christmas. when the headlights are off and shut that they look like they are sitting below the hoodline. is there a way to shim them or something to get them to be flush with the hoodline? any help would be great

If you look at the bottom side of the headlight door you will see that it's held on by 4 screws, each one of these can be adjusted up or down. Give that a try it should be all you need to do.
You may have to have the headlight just partially open and adjust one side outside the car and the other side under the hood.
