Adjusting headlights

[Sawbones]

After getting the 315's and the 2" lift I was getting flashed by everyone I passed when driving at night. Had to drive with just the fog lights on.



Finally found the correct size star tool and have adjusted the lamps as far down as I can. Probably only have a few threads left holding the adjustment screw in place.



At 25 feet the beams still look awfully high. Is there anything else that can be done?

I had to do the same thing. I don't think there's a way around it, except lifting the rear 2", or get airbags and ride around town with 15psi

Seems like that would certainly help my lights. Gotta get that leveling kit pretty soon.

Oh well, good thing my bulbs are dimmer than most. Course my wife's been saying that for years.....

Did you try both screws, inner side behind grill and the one below the light. I figured the one below the light would be the one. I was wrong. try the other one. It worked for me. Matter a fact I want to raise the light up a Little after adjusting them too low.

Well if that's the case, no wonder it didn't seem to make much difference when I backed the screws all the way out.



Intuitively I thought the screw on the bottom would adjust the up/down.



I consulted the shop manual. As I recall, it said the adjustment procedure was described in the accompanying literature included in the box with the adjustment tool.
