I moved this to the exterior section

If I remember correctly jj said at 20 feet your lights should have 2" drop

so to clarify, 25' back away from the wall/door, the headlights should have a 2" drop from where they woudl be if you were nose up against the wall?

yup!

Call me crazy, when I do it.............I walk up to the light and put a line of tape on my jeans where the cutoff is. I walk over to the wall and bam - check. lower if need, etc.

And what if one light is like 2 foot above the other lol stupid fing dealership / and joy headlights have to be removed to access the adjustment screws stupid ****

0212353 · May 17, 2012

why do they need adjusted? dealer jacked them up? pull them, put 'em back. shouldn't have to move 'em?

OutlawTrucker · May 17, 2012

Wellllllll i had a led tail light go out then the whole left side of my truck went out i took every light out unhooked checked yadda yadda finally found the prob the left side resister for my tail went bad and caused my truck to kick it as being faulty. So in process of this i must of left my hid fog light bulb loose went for a ride and the bulb burnt my fog light housing almost in half. So put stock **** back in my fogs and went to dealer to get new fog light installed (warranty) . And since the whole front end has to come off to get to fogs i was not messing with that lol

20T or 7mm to adjust headlights, just adjusted mine in about 2 minutes.
