They're inside the hood above the headlight position. Are they for adjusting the headlights someway? I don't have an owners manual but the drivers side level seems to indicate it points down more than the one on the passenger side, which is what headlights should do.
Anyone know what the small levels are for above the headlights on a '98 Contour?

ØYes, the levels are for aiming the headlights. The car must be on a Ølevel surface (perpendicular to the ground) to use them properly.
Thanks for the clarification!
Shouldn't the car be parallel to the ground?
Yes, but wouldn't be more fun to watch him try with it perpendicular.
Just funnin' with you. The key word is "level" ground. The car, sitting on its wheels, will be parallel to the ground whether it's level ground or on a hill. Perpendicular would have the car resting on one of its bumpers or either side. Of course, it could also be parallel if it was resting on its roof. SC Tom
