Folks with Shelby front fascia - headlight adjustment?
I've had the Shelby GT 500 fascias (front and back) on for a while and I never really noticed any particular problem with the headlight adjustment. The door of my garage is really not a very good aiming point, but I was parked in a level parking lot facing a concrete wall, and the driver's side headlight was a couple of inches high.
I can see the plastic adjustment screws for right left, but can't see the ones for up down. Does anybody have a copy of the work instructions for adjusting the Shelby headlights? Maybe they are the same as stock. Not having the stock ones around anymore, I can't tell. A picture would help.
Thanks

OK, thanks. The Shelby GT 500 headlights have a right-left adjustment that I can see looking down at them. What I'd like to know is if there is also an up-down adjustment. I'm guessing there is. I'll keep looking.

After the conversion when I aimed my GT500 headlight assemblies, even though the adjuster screws had "L" and "R" on them the light only went up and down. So they will work for you.
edit: I found the link that explained everything here:

Of course I found this after I had figured out the aiming procedure. Check out the info for the VOR and VOL type.

Aha! Seek and ye shall find.
Yes, there is an up-down screw on the back end of the little block. The right-left is on top. So, if the right-left just does up and down like you say Mark then I'm in business without removing the CAI. Otherwise, I'll have to move it to get at that back end screw. (Actually they are hex head plastic with a screw driver slot in them as well).
