how to adjust headlight housing "height"?

[chiefsalami]

Hi Jim,
The fender looks fine, with everything even. I see that the tray that holds the lights in is bolted to the inner fender, but with what seems like a threaded screw into a round nubbed nut. The screw accepts a star-point driver (T15), but it is VERY tight and very difficult to turn. And I can't tell that it's doing anything to the light position.

So I'm wondering what it is about this light and why it sits sunken down like that.

Apparently, adjusting the frame is not an easy task:

Right.... I think what I am referring to are the "aligning nuts" mentioned in the renntech post. So I might be on the right track (no pun intended) by adjusting those nuts. I believe there are 3, which probably control the forward and rear tilt, and perhaps side tilt of the headlight housing to the body. I'll try some more tonight, and will try to get a picture of all of this.
