2019-2020 headlights

[Randomrunner12]

Those of you with the new trucks, did they fix the stupid need to remove the grill and entire headlight assembly just to change the bulbs?

Randomrunner12, I don't have an answer, but was just about to post a headlight question of my own - I hope you don't mind if I piggyback it here; I just didn't think we needed two headlamp threads...

Has anyone with a 19 and non-swivel LED headlamps done a headlamp adjustment yet?

I have enough squat loaded and with a trailer hitched up on my 2500 that I'd like to drop my light pattern down a bit to correct and as basic road courtesy - I'm not getting flashed by everybody, but the pattern is a little higher than I'd like and I got an occasional flash from someone in a low-slung vehicle on my shakedown trip. Took a fast look under the hood and in the online owner's manuals and found nothing immediately obvious. I guess I have to buy a damned service manual for headlamp adjustment info? (Of course, it's a DVD-ROM or CD-ROM, not a paper manual, and I'l have to have a PC system to read it instead of one of my Macs. Sigh...)

Randomrunner12 yes you must remove the grille to remove headlight.

Skyjim There is Standard Procedure Front Lamp aiming 1. Verify proper tire inflation pressures; 2.Verify that there is no load in vehicle ( cargo or passengers) except for driver. 3. The fuel tank needs to be full. The vertical adjustment screw for each headlamp is accessible through hole located in a raised rectangular formation (2) with a raised arrow pointing to it. These features are stamped into the sheet metal of each front fender (1) ledge near front of the vehicle. Now turn on the headlamps on (low) beams. Rotate the headlamp vertical adjustment screw; on the back of each front light unit to adjust the beam height.
The '19 manual is about size of business card that plugs into thumb drive port. Nope only Windows!

If memory serves the headlight adjust is on the fender under the hood about 4-6" back from the headlights. It take a T20 bit. The standard T20 t handle isn't long enough.
