I have a 1960 bugeye. I am putting in the headlights, but I am not sure how they go back in. Each headlight has two adjusters. One the bonnet, there is room for three adjusters. There is one hole in the top, one hole to the inside, and one to the outside. One adjuster has to go in the top hole, but does the other adjuster go on the inside or outside hole? Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Look closely at the exploded view in the Moss catalog. No matter how many words I took I would not get it across to you propery.

Short answer, outside. but not so sure it makes any difference really.
 
You have later style buckets that will work fine (and are easier to adjust). I think you want one adjuster at the top and one on the left side.
 
I used later style buckets from a '68 in Bugsy my '68 with the BE bonnet. It was just a case of rotating them until I got the holes to line up. Still need some adjustment to headlights to finish things off but they are in and working.
