Help adjusting headlights

I need to adjust the headlights on my 2016 F150. Since installing the rear shackles, my headlights are too high. Does anybody know where the adjustment for up-and-down is? Thanks, Jag

You are welcome and you are correct....finding the adjuster is 80% of the battle.

It took a few days to tweak mine. I would adjust, then drive and repeat. When I no longer got flashed and both beams were at the same height, I was done. I feel that my headlights are more effective since I adjusted them.

It's very easy. Use a #2 Phillips in the small hole on top of the headlights.

I had anticipated The need to adjust the headlights before I put it the shackles on. So, I had taped the outline of the headlights top and bottom on the garage door. So yesterday I was able to use the number two Phillips and put 5 full turns on each of the little adjusters. Last night I took it for a test drive and the headlights were perfect! Much better than shining up in the air lighting up the trees. Jag
