ADJUSting Headlghts

i swapped out the stock leaves and factory lift blocks for a set of deavers that lowered the rear end - and now my lights are pointed a little too high...

...anyone know how to redirect the headlights so i can stop getting flipped off?

Two questions:
Why are you driving with your lights on in the day.. or..
...how can you see people flipping you off at night? O_o

I would just suggest lifting the rear a little higher to even it out lol. I'm fairly certain there are screws on the lights to adjust them. I could be wrong, never needed to adjust mine.

Other headlights Ive seen have dials on the back of them, I would assume Ford has the same setup. Park in front of a wall and turn those dials. Also, thanks for reminding me I need to adjust mine as well.

What special tool, are they a reverse torx style? If so use a pair of needle nose vise grips, or just ask the local parts store.
