Flip lights adjustment ,,,Help needed
Hi, I just installed a new gear for my flip lights. It was easier than I thought. The only thing is that the when the lights go down now, the one I changed goes down too low. How can I adjust this ?

Why are you posting this same question again today when DeeGee gave you the answer you seek in the same question you posted yesterday???? 
If you have more to add simply go back and edit your previous post.

Start by popping the hood and manually raising the headlight thats out of alignment.
Fine the proper tool and take off the black bezel around the headlight.
After that the " cover" / " top part" of the headlight will need to be removed.........just remove a couple more screws and take it off.
underneath the cover you will see a series of 4 little bolts/screws.......or whatever they are ( its been a while since Ive done this.)
In order to make the light fall down lower in the front and higher in the back you will need to tighten the front screws down.......this will make the cover sit lower in the front...........if you need the light to sit higher in order to line up on the fascia, you will have to loosen the two screws in the front.
( Loosening the two front screws makes them ( the screws) sit higher which in turn effects the way the cover sits while put together.) The cover will sit higher.
Screwing them in further.......allows the cover of the light to sit lower.
All this does is " level" the headlight cover.............and more than likely you will have to mess with all four of the screws under the cover until you get it right.
All four must be adjusted properly for proper alignment
