Where are the adjustments for the headlights? Other folks were saying there aren't any. They have to have a way to adjust them. I haven't driven my car at night yet, but want to know how to adjust them if necessary. Typically the horizontal adjustments are blocked, but should be there too. Thx.
Look in your manual to get precise instructions but US spec mustangs are adjustable with a phillips screwdriver from the top. It's a white plastic gear on the back of the housing. It may look like you need an allen wrench but deeper in is a phillips head slot. Turn one direction for up and the other for down. Horizontal adjustments aren't necessary since these are projectors with a cutoff line. They'll cover a very wide angle of the roadway regardless.

This is what all Oz Mustangs have. I'm amazed you guys don't get this. As you say, it all comes down to Gov regs.

Our 15 - 17 cars don't have the illuminated shark gills at the side of the head lights for instance.
same for UK MY17. Hex screws above the headlight unit itself and the load leveler dial inside the headlight switch (auto on option there as well) No shark gills either :frown:

I had a new one installed. The old one lined up with the trunk the new one replaced doesn’t line up.
Only thing you can do is play with the tightness of the bolts that hold it in place. Dealer probably cranked it down too hard. Gotta pull off trunk plastics to do that though.
