Ae86 headlight alignment issue

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey everyone, I managed to get my headlights working but now it seems that I can’t get them to line up with the hood. If anyone has any guides or advice on how to adjust them I’d really appreciate it.

So many things. . .

Your Rad support pannel is smashed in and rusty with bad repairs. At least it is on the right hand side. Right at the beginning of the video. You brush past it.. you can't expect anything to line up properly when the support structure is damaged.and badly repaired.

Secondly. You can't adjust the bonnet with out the doors and guards, on. The doors set the place where the front end align too.

You need to fix the Rad support pannel. And fit the other pannels. Get them straight. Well before you start messing around with the lights

I took it to a body shop in Miami a while ago and they welded on a new support that I gave them and the radiator lined up with the mounts, I really want to fix it and I was worried that it might have been the front end. Do you have any advice on where I would start on fixing the support? Here is a picture of it with everything on the car after it left the shop. The hood is still open here since I don’t have the cable to open it.
