Installation of Aftermarket Headlights

[Dennis Burns]

i installed a set of aftermarket headlights on my 2014 Dodge Ram. These are just standard headlights not HID. I have both headlights adjusted the same and they are both to low. (High beams are where low beams should be)
I have adjusted screws turned all the way in on both headlights with no more adjustment available. Is there another way to get a little extra adjustment up? Or am I just stuck?

I had the same problem with aftermarket headlights and after a lot of frustration I finally found that the adjustment had come apart inside and it wasn't doing anything to adjust the screws. Yours may or may not be having the same problem but it's something to check...
(That ball joint is supposed to be connected to the socket)

I turned the screw on each headlight all the way in and saw each headlight raise while doing so but I assume the screws bottomed out and I stated feeling resistance and quit turning to avoid damage.
Each headlight adjusted up to the same level... just a little low

Post a picture of the headlights you bought so we can get a better idea of the internals and adjustment parts.

Check your adjustment washer on the underside of the vertical mounting screw(silver looking nut/washer the bolt screws into). If not held in place when removing the headlights, it will spin and dewwacky your vertical as well. Adjust it, and I bet you have to lower the internal adjustment back to a lower position.
