Center Headlights


What is the best way to adjust your middle headlights on a fox body?
One of my center headlights is not stock (the guy before me bought a knockoff lens from China) and it sits further back than the 2 corner lenses.
Help a brother out

See pic below...notice the passenger side middle lenses



Don't need any jokes about me in the pic...this is the only good pic that really shows what I am talking about

I bought a headlight kit from latemodel resto with all 6 and they sent me 2 passenger side turn signal lights instead of 1 of each...

You can pull it out and there's adjusting screws. Just back all three out evenly until desired placement is achieved

Well it could be several things like a cheap knockoff lens that doesnt fit right (like mine) or it needs adjusting, or the little black seal around it is gone

there from ford, and the seal is good ill try adjusting it plus i think my whole front bumper is sagging in the middle, the gap in between the hood and bumper is too much.

this is best pic of both. (dont mind its in process of being refinished)
