How did you align the headlights to the indicators Phil?
Not sure how soon Phil will see this so i'll try to explain.
Short explanation is with trial, error, patience (lots of!), blood, sweat, tears and swearing (optional!), a No2 and No3 Pozi-driv and perhaps a pair of pliers.
First you remove the indicators (seriously) to gain access to the securing screw (No2 Pozi)that holds the headlamp to the sheet of bodywork between the indicator and the headlamp. Now remove the two No3 pozi headed screws from on top of the headlamp. Pull the top of the headlamp forward (towards the front of the car) and slide it inboard to release the bar from the clip on the lower body panel or bumper iron, depending on the year.
Now, using the pliers you adjust the end of the bar to raise or lower the inner end of the headlamp relative to the indicator to get it level and when you riefit the light unit, you can fine tune the position with the two top mounting screws and the screw that secures the headlamp to the body panel where you can also adjust the headlamp a little more.
Afterwards you will probably need to get the headlamp aim checked/adjusted with a beamsetter/headlamp aim machine. There are separate screws to adjust the beam aim so you won't disturb all your efforts to get the light unit sitting right.
That's the basics, takes a lot of time and patience to get them anywhere near right but definitely worth it if you can. While you're at it, check the bonnet alignment to make sure that isn't making the headlamps look wrong as well - there is adjustment on the lock pins each side, the rubber buffers on the end of the wings/slam panel so you can get it level relative to the wings each side.
