LED headlamp adjustment

Has anyone figured out how to adjust the Led headlights for towing, I pulled up to the garage and tried to turn the adjustment but it won't turn and people flash their lights a lot at me when I'm towing. Any help is appreciated

The adjustments work on the LED. They just feel like you're going to break them.

Thanks mayo, that's what I was wondering. I didn't want to mess up a new truck. There is no telling how much those lights cost

Unfortunately, I can tell you exactly how much they cost. $1,111.30 (Lamp Assembly) + $150.40 (Ballast Assembly) + $50.00 (?) + $105.00 (Labor) = $1,416.70.

I have this unique knowledge due to the fact that a great horned owl went suicidal and took a header into my driver's side headlight a few weeks ago. I suspect he thought the lights were as beautiful as I do, and flew towards the light thinking it was heaven.

On a related note, that aluminum body is tough! I hit the owl at full speed. They are huge! I though it caved in my front end it hit so hard. Not a scratch, let alone a dent, on the truck. Just a broken headlight and windshield (which was strange - I think a chunk of the exploding owl hit the windshield and cracked it).

For that price I'd have the dealer adjust them, if they break them then they can replace them.

Now I'm curious if the aluminum is truly more dent resistant like they say?

i got lucky then with my headlight, i was just about to leave the self serve car wash after paying at the drive up window, they had one of those drop down stop bars and the girl forgot to lift it! well i went to drive away and i hear this snap and see this bar flying throw the air! all it did was a small scratch on my headlight but the bar was was written off lol, our trucks are so high on the front end i couldn't see it!
