Direct-replacement headlight adjuster screw for 1969–1978 Ford cars designed to restore proper headlight aiming and keep the headlamp assembly secure. This precision replacement part threads into the headlight bucket to allow accurate vertical (and in some assemblies, horizontal) aiming, preventing beam wander, reducing vibration, and maintaining safe nighttime visibility. Built for durability and reliable operation in restoration and maintenance projects, it’s an easy, cost-effective way to return classic Ford headlights to correct alignment and OEM-style function.

- Fits 1969–1978 Ford passenger cars (direct replacement for original headlight adjuster screws).
- Quality steel construction with a corrosion-resistant finish for long service life.
- Provides precise headlight aiming to improve nighttime visibility and road safety.

Instructions:
- Park on level ground, turn off the vehicle, and disconnect the battery if desired for safety.
- Remove the headlight bezel/trim ring by loosening the retaining screws to access the adjuster area.
