Headlight Adjustment

[VaderRebel]

Anyone have success aiming their own headlights after lift or level?

Or is this a dealer only thing with the new LED's?

I serve some minimal good purpose once or twice a year when I'm not thinking up of crazy ideas.

I did mine I used my garage door. I pulled up and marked a spot for the wheels and then put masking taoe where they shined before the level. Then after adjusted to the same marks after.

Was that pic looking down or up? And sadly I didn't create a height benchmark before I leveled my truck. Good'ole eyeball will have to do!

When I had to adjust my one truck after I lifted it, I went to the dealership and measured twice as a comparison. That truck had a six inch lift and after it wasn’t too far off the mark.

Anyone have issues with the limited LED’s? I see the set screw and read that counterclockwise will adjust down. Since day one my drivers side light is aimed higher then passenger side and it doesn’t react to turning the screw and I have turned quite a bit. Thanks

My driverside headlight has been pointed higher then the passenger side from factory as well

It’s hard to get it to turn with a Phillips I use a thin flat blade that only goes In one slot not both like a Phillips. I tried number one and two Phillips neither fit well. Try a small flat blade and I’m sure it will adjust.

Interesting, to me it looked like an allen/hex head, but my small phillips turned it with no problem... both headlights adjusted properly. So those that can't adjust might have something else wrong.

Is the adjustment the same for the traditional headlights? I have the Bighorn without LEDs.

I’m assuming it’s similar

I used a big flatbit that fit really well in the hex. I think ram did a great job- you can basically use anything with a handle.
