Headlights angle

Does anyone know if there is an easy way to change the level of the headlights beam?
After I raised the front of my F150 my headlights appear to be aiming to high and I don't want to take it it for such a minor issue.

After my Leveling kit and body lift I had the dealership use a special tool to realign my headlights - no charge!

I must have been making TONS of people mad - I got the 1 finger wave alot LOL!

I found the screw but it didn't move the light at all.
I guess I'll have to take it in and get it done.

Adjusting lights

Hey all,
I just adjusted my lights down, since I added the 2" DMJ lowering shackles, I was getting some #1 finger too.
4mm bolt on top of light housing has to be turned one complete turn clockwise.
Yes, clockwise is down. The owners manuel is wrong.
Mark top of screw with a sharpie so you can keep track of turns.
Hope this helps.
Truck on!

Thumbs up

I do not have a pic but, open hood, look at headlight assemble from top. In the center and backside of assemble is a small screw with a hex or nut end. Remember this is a small threaded screw about the diameter of the radio antennna. Park facing a block wall, about 8 feet away at night, this will help set each light level or the same.
Hope this helps.
Truck on!
