Dumb question...headlight adjustment...
Turn the lights on, or rotate the buckets so they're in the on position. In the center of the headlight on the top, there's a screw in the middle to adjust high and low on both sides. Then, on the side of the light there is another screw for left and right. The left light has it on the right side and the right side has it on the left.
Hope that helps. Try and adjust the light beams against a building...That's how I adjusted mine. :cheers:

Jay, I think he's talking about the actual assembly and not where the lights are pointing.
I know there is an adjustment for this, although I can't remember exactly how(and I can't run out to my Vette to look :cry)
I had to adjust my headlights when I got the car because they weren't anywhere near flush when closed.
If you adjust how they sit when open, you may have a problem with how they are closed, which is how they are most of the time.

With the headlights in the closed position, remove the bezel that covers the actual headlight (actually I can't remember if you can do this with the headlights closed or not)
Once that bezel is removed, you should be able to see the 4 tabs that hold the headlight cover onto the rotating assembly. Slightly loosen the front two, and you should be able to adjust the height of the cover relative to the hood. I had to do this last summer when I replaced a headlight cover that blew off. It's simple, but will take a couple trys to get it aligned with the hood correctly. Be careful with the tabs on the headlight cover they are delicate.
