Intended for compatible 1969 Ford Mustang applications. Designed for the LH / driver side only. Do not assume compatibility with 1968 or 1970 models. Confirm headlight and grille configuration before ordering. Verify surrounding bezel and trim style. Check headlamp size and retainer arrangement. Confirm adjuster screw and spring configuration. Inspect grille, fender, radiator support, and nearby mounting points for collision damage. Bent or repaired front-end sheet metal can affect bucket alignment. Aftermarket grilles or custom front-end conversions may require adjustment. Verify whether retainers, adjusters, and mounting hardware are included. Headlight aim should be checked and adjusted after installation.
