southern shaker: your headlights are installed wrong. just take them out and put them in right side up, then you can see at nite better, you may still have to adjust them right or left, or up and down, but at least install them right...good luck on the build...

ole dollor · 10-14-2012, 12:37 PM

hate to tell you this , but your headlights are still, not put in right.....there is a tab in the top of the rear of seal beam that lines up with the top of the head light bucket. see how your head lights are setting.....they are up side down....

mightymouse · 10-14-2012, 12:52 PM

x 2 bro, looking good thou easy fix..

*Southern Shaker* · 10-14-2012, 12:57 PM

hahaha dang im glad to be a member i wouldnt be able to do most of this with out yall haha thanks so all i have to do is flip the headlights?

*Southern Shaker* · 10-14-2012, 01:08 PM

I took pics of taking the light apart , which tab are you referring to ??

mightymouse · 10-14-2012, 01:20 PM

hey shaker , see the three indention's on the outside around the headlight bucket . clock the headlamp around till the word halogen is upright and the lines on the lamp are running up and down and the nub on the lamp fits in the indention's on the bucket

ole dollor · 10-14-2012, 01:23 PM

just take both headlights out not the bucket, then turn them so the words on the head light on the front of the head light are where you can read them , look on the top and rear of the head light and you will see the glass at the top has a tap built into it, just line it up with the natch in the bucket and put the ring and screws back in....
