if you pull up a against a building you can adjust them and get them equal. The drive the car and see if the how well you can see then adjust them up or down. Also what part of VA are you from?

If I was there I could show you where the adjusters are but I don't have a foxbody and can't tell you where the adjusters are I found a video on american muscles website for the 99-04 http://www.americanmuscle.com/ I don't know if it will help any or not. Also I live outside of winchester, VA.

i have one piece lights too and they have no adjusters. What i did is went to home depot and bought a few nuts and placed them behind the light on the inside of the housing the light bolts up to and used the bolt on either side to get the light where i wanted it.

This piece look familiar? That's the adjuster plate for your headlight and when you swapped to one pieces, I assume you took your old headlight out of it and replaced it with the new one piece setup.

The screws that run through that plate and clip to the headlight are the adjusters. On the backside of the plate, you should be able to see the end of the screw sticking out. You can turn it with a 1/4 drive ratchet and I think it was a 4.5mm socket, turning the screws moves the top or bottom of the light in or out depending on which way you turn them.

I hope I made sense =/ and if the screws are rounded off, use a set up small visegrips or pliers to turn them.

If you're one pieces don't clip into those adjusting plates then disregard everything I said haha.

I was just doing a bit of reading and it looks like the one pieces don't use that adjuster plate, sorry.
