It's a she, and she has insurance so we're just gonna go that route. That way there's no issues. Th bumper is going to need to be repainted, since it removed the paint down to the plastic, new fender, and a new set of headlights, since you can't buy just one. I'm gonna get it all fixed at once, still waiting to get my Termi bumper, 3" cowl hood and side skirts. I already got the scoops in!
wow our cars are going to look identical lol
Not really, mine's still gonna be cooler lol j/j

Skidawg; It's a black billet grille from Carriage Works. I love it, I didn't like the grille deletes, I wanted the grille to disappear, and not be able to see all the crap behind it.

For projectors, there's 2 adjustment screws on the back, the upper one is for the high beam and the lower is for the low beam. It's best to use a drill with a phillips (+ for you 'tards) to adjust it with an speed.

I park my car about 30ft from a wall on a level surface and align the headlights to a decent height to where I can see as much of the road as possible without blinding people. generally a few inches lower than the height of the headlights themselves, which is why it's important to have enough distance between the car and whatever object you'er using to line them up, the more distance, within reason, the more acurate your measurement will be.

The problem with the projectors is that you have to take them out to adjust them, so it takes some time to do it right. I left the park/turn lamp unplugged until I was finished. I want to say that turning the screw left brought them up, and you can actually watch the projector beam part come further out of the housing and you raise it up, kind cool looking.

Forthe stockers there is one hole that will accept either an allen wrench or a phillips head. You have to be really careful with the stockers because they will strip out very easily if you accidently adjust them out of range.

This mustang is the first vehicle I've ever owned that has no headlights available with a right/left adjustment.

Yeah, I have the projectors too. I see the screw on top, but is the screw on the bottom inside the round cap thing?

Also, did you have your lights on while you did the adjustments or what?

It's on the "back" of the housing, to the outer edge of the rectangular bulb access port. The one on the top only adjust the high beam, the one of the back adjust the low. Yeah I had them one, just had to keep taking them out and puting them back in again until it was perfect, it took forever.
