the headlight assembly offers marginal adjustment if you loosen everything up on the mounts... however its maybe 1/8" at most in terms of slack.
the bulk of adjustment you need to make is your hood alignment, the headlight cover itself, bumper and your fenders. i dont remember the exact numbers off the top of my head, but i believe hood to fenders should be 1/8". hood around headlights should be 1/4". hood to bumper is 1/8" to 1/4" (this is done via adjusting hood AND adjusting upper mounting bracket for bumper, the holes are oblonged for a reason). the actual actuation of the headlight can be adjusted via the actuation arm AND the rubber bump stops inside the headlight housing (these will most likely break due to age... i think i used a nut, bolt and washers on mine).
took me about two hours of fiddling with all my body panels to get everything to spec via factory service manual. i still need to mess with tips of my fenders a bit... but yeah, if your headlights are too close to your fenders, its most likely because you need to adjust the fenders as the headlight brackets and mounts only allow for a marginal amount of adjustment.
