[V8] Headlight Misalignment after Timing Belt

[Ron Wainwright]

The only reason the HL would need to aligned is if the HL's were removed from there brackets. 
 I did send good ole Tom a link on how to remove the whole front member as a unit (with HL's still bolted) But looks like he ended up removing them.
 Did u all so remove the HL's Dave?

good work Tom, must feel good to finish the Job. My H lights were miss aligned to after I completed my timing belt change a few years ago. At night I fixed and adjusted them using the a garage door as reference. I'd try this first before taking the bumper off the car. cheers superdave
