*Headlight Adjustment On 37 Pickup*

Take a look at the piccs. My headlight on the passengers side is pointing down much more than the drivers side. I took the light out on the passengers side and did not see any adjustments inside. The only thing I can see is maybe shimming

up under the headlight post that attaches to the fender. Can someone help out here.

Isn't there a nut/bolt/washer under the headlight that you can loosen to aim the light higher?

The only thing under the light is the spring loaded latch to secure the chrome ring to the light and base.

Ok, it's the big nut under the fender. I'll work on it tomorrow. In the AC for the rest of the evening.

Ok, I meant take out the headlight and see what is under there. It looks kinda like it should pivot in between the bucket and the leg. The big nut underneath should just hold it to the fender. I think...

Tried to loosen the headlight nut on the bottom side of the fender and it looks like it's been on there for a while. I didn't want to pull on it to hard for fear of something breaking. I sprayed it with WD40 and it try again tomorrow..
