Headlight Buckets

If I am changing out the headlight buckets on my truck, and I don't touch the adjusters. Do I still have to readjust the lights, or will they still be aligned?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but I figure as long as the adjusters aren't messed with, it should be good?

If you are putting different headlights in it they will likely not be adjusted the same as the ones you took out.
You can compare the settings of the old ones and set the "new" adjusters the same as the old ones and get it really close.
If you are putting the same ones back in they should still be adjusted the same unless you changed the adjusters when they were out.

Thanks now that I have the old buckets out. I can see the adjuster.
