since i lowered my truck, apparently my headlights are blinding people in the oncoming traffic. so i was wondering if there is an adjustment to lower the aim of the headlights?

i looked around the assembly and didnt see anything, but then again, it mightve been staring me in the face.

any help would be appreciated.
thanks

Wait what? You lowered your truck and now you're blinding people? I don't see how that is possible. There are adjusment screws on the lights though.

same thing happened when i lowered my ssr.
seems since the rear was lowered more than the front, the headlights will actually point slightly higher. hard to explain.
if i aim at my garage door, my low beams are almost the same height as my high beams.
i just want to see if i can aim them a little lower.

I wouldn't say that! I would never look in the holes on the fender. Lol.

lol..id does go against thinking. but it makes sense since you did level it with the lower so how they were aimed is different now

depends on your truck on the 13+

If you have the quad lights, use the hole that is furthest from the grill. The OEM projectors would use the hole closer to the grill

oooooooohhh!!! that makes sense. it was really sunny out today and I noticed there was only a screw in the back one (I have quads), I figured the glare and how deep the hole was i needed to get a light in there to see the other screw, but according to you there isn't one. Perfect, thanks for clearing that up!! I feel dumb now haha

I found out that on the 13's you have to go clockwise to lower the beam instead of counter clockwise.

Is the adjustment for the whole housing or can you adjust the high beams separate? This is on the housings with a separate high beam bulb.
