06 and up, no headlamp vertical adjustment

[JBee]

Anyone else puzzled why they don't allow up/down headlamp adjustment on the new headlamp assembly? Would be niced to adjust down when towing.

'07 headlight vertical adjustment?

I hope that's not the case. Anybody with a service manual?

There is an adjustment for vertical. Open the hood and look along the inside edge of the headlight assembly.

the hex head socket is located behind the rubber flap between the assembly and front grille.



Hope this helps

8. Measure the distance on center between the first and the second lamp being aimed. Transfer this measurement

to the alignment screen with a second piece of tape placed vertically across the appropriate (head or fog) lamp

horizontal reference. This is the centerline reference for the second lamp.

HEADLAMP ALIGNMENT

NOTE: Due to the linear nature of the headlamp cutoff, a properly aimed low beam headlamp will project the

top edge of the high intensity pattern even with the headlamp horizontal reference line on the alignment

screen. No horizontal (right/left) adjustment is required for this headlamp beam pattern. The high beam pattern

will be correct when the low beams are properly aimed.

1. Turn the headlamps On and select the Low beams.

2. Rotate the headlamp vertical adjustment screw (2)

on the inboard side of each front lamp unit housing

(1) to adjust the beam height as required.

FOG LAMP ALIGNMENT

NOTE: A properly aimed front fog lamp will project a pattern on the alignment screen 100 millimeters (4

inches) below the fog lamp centerline and straight ahead of the lamp.

1. Turn the fog lamps On.

2. Rotate the fog lamp vertical adjustment screw (2)

on each lamp to adjust the beam height as

required.

Unfortunately I'm on the road to have a look. I've had both headlamps out and there pin'd on onside with the tow bolts that hold them. I noticed on torx adjustment that pushes the assy from the inside to outside. Only one screw. Are there two screws for adjustment? I only saw the one and I had it totally removed for bulb replacements. I could be wrong. Thanks for the input by all.

Jeff,



I have found only one adjustment screw. It is the one I described that is located behind a rubber flap that is connected to the headlight assembly and goes over toward the plastic grille.



Raise the hood and pull the rubber flap forward. About half way down the assembly you will see the adjustment screw. This is the vertical adjustment screw on my 06.



I have not been able to located a horizontal adjustment. Based on the post above, I would say you can only adjust the vertical.



The post above seem very detailed.
