Head light alignment
In the Service Bulletin book it shows how to set the head light for the A, does the AA use the same measurements? Thank you all mine is not to that point, but it was a question that came to my mind. lol

Re: Head light alignment
That is the guidine that I used. Working well for me. My lights are plenty bright and I can see well. Never had any on coming vehicles flash their brights at me because they thought my low beams were adjusted too high making it difficult for them to see.

Dito:
I got new reflectors, Not that great. I think they are not the correct shape. Be sure to get good ones. Not the "Bright and shinny", ones. (nuf said)?

Re: Head light alignment
If you have original reflectors have them silver plated as they were done originally.

Re: Head light alignment
If you have reflectors that need to be re-plated silver make sure you have original reflectors before doing so, Walt Bratton had them made to the original Ford blue print, I have been told that they focus correctly as per the service bulletins, all the vendors now have them.

Re: Head light alignment
Some of the new reflector are steel and plated They are not worth the toilet paper to plug the light socket. The original reflectors were plated brass. I recently purchased a pair for my coupe the fit and look good. upon ordering as set make sure they are plated brass Shelby, Louisiana.
