Question Headlights misaligned

Can someone point me to the place in the Manuals where I can find out how to adjust the headlight alignment? I found the info in section 94 about how to adjust the beams, but I mean the actual buckets need adjusting and I can't figure out where to look. The headlight buckets do not go all the way down into the space in the fenders as they should and the rear of the headlights is sticking up about 3/4" above the fender line. Any help appreciated,

Hello Joe.

Using the 'search' function at the top of the page, typing in 'headlight adjustment' results in several matches.

Here's one of them that may be helpful:

Randy,
Thank you for that great write up. I am sure I can sort them out using it. But, I still would like to find out where in the manuals to find the information.

I wonder if I have a US version of the manuals. I dont have any #V. 94-1 is a bulb chart, 94-2 is adjusting the US version for headlight alignment including removintg the chrome ring around the headlight and 94-3 is for US foglight adjustment. No where in 94 is there anything about the bar that the headlight buckets are mounted on. Anyone have any other insight on this? Thanks in advance.
