i have posted before on this matter and wonder if anyone has any new suggestions. i have an 84 corvette, i can not get the headlights totally adjusted so there are flat and perfect and i dont really care for the pop up. Right now i have them on the flip up and leaving at that. i have seen the breathless company but can not find anyone else that has a non pop up solution? Help? I have used the suggestion on how to adjust and it does not work right on the one side, they just will not line up...any help would be great.

I bought on ebay an 84 window motor and assembley and it is for the driver door not the passenger side. Is it possible to remove the motor and put on an old assembly? It does not appear to have the screws. They are both AC delco OEM. How do you, and can you remove?

called sonic blue, due to the base tones even though stripped it still brought out some red which mix and made more purplish, sonic blue is a mix of purple and blue.
