This may be laughable but did you guys re aim your headlights after installing your lift?

I know the light output isint great to begin with but now that I'm lifted the headlights are pretty much useless. So I was just wondering what the best way to go about this is? What kind of reference does everyone use when adjusting them?

Low beams were ok for me, its the high beams that are useless.

This was a daily thing for me till I found the right height.
But I had to adjust mine quiet a bit so that I wasn't blinding anyone in front of me.
I would say park 2ft from a wall and see where the cut off is....reverse back 25ft and see where it is based on that line originally at 2ft of distance.
Based on your lift (example 6" lift) drop it down a few inches below that line.
That's what I was told by JJ...
But, it didnt work for me as I'm about 11" up so I cranked it down 9 full turns and now I'm ok.
Again, this is a work in progress. I don't think there is something out there to tell you how to do this.

Is there just one screw to make the adjustments or several ?
Click to expand...

Just 1 screw....well its not a screw, its more of a 7mm nut
There is an arrow pointing to the opening where you adjust the height up and down

I have the same issue, no matter where I aim them I really can't see much with the stock lights, hence why I'm going with jj's hid projectors.
