Ok guys so I'm still new to my truck and it seems like my headlights might be aimed a little low?

I'm assuming these are the aftermarket headlights but seems like the "cutoff beam" is a bit low when driving.

These are my headlights:

These are the pics I took, sorry for the crappy ones.

I guess basically when I'm going 50+mph the cutoff lines seems to close where I would like more distance out to see. That's why I'm curious if they can be adjusted?

And thanks, the color is growing on me very quick :)

So last night I went to go adjust the headlights through that adjuster hole that's on the fenders. That screw isn't even there and I can tell these are aftermarket by someone's previous wiring.

So if I can adjust it by that screw, how else can I raise the headlights?

Is there better options for different headlights or are these projectors a decent pair?

The adjustment is on the back of the assembly itself. Have to remove the lights to aim.

Thanks guys for the feedback. Yeah those two holes I looked at have the arrow stamped on the fender but yet didn't see any adjuster screw.

So looks like I'll have to remove the headlight assembly then. Is it hard to do that? Sorry for all the questions

the latch behind the trapdoor in the fender, and two bolts in the front of the headlight, one you'll either need a long extension or remove the grill to reach.
