    Just getting started.
    new to this type of headlights ( projection beam ) I need to adjust the headlights up on my 2016 Tacoma they are shining low and on the on back country roads it is hard to see with out running high beams all the time. The dealership told me they're not adjustable and I told the service advisor he was full of shit there has to be some way to I just them up-and-down. Could someone please help point me in the right direction on adjusting these headlights thanks.

    Why not use the beams.... Isn't that what they are for? OR is there too much traffic on your "back country" roads..?? Just asking... I use high beam as soon as I pass an oncoming vehicle.... Way too many moose and deer lurking in the ditches at night....

    As for running high beams all the time. Tree lines are very close to roads around here and is more like spotlighting then driving especially with all the curves.

    Seems like someone always has something to say instead of just answering your question lol
    Glad someone helped you out OP


    Just adjusted my headlights last week after installing my lift.

    The picture in the thread that was linked wasn't super clear. Do you just jam a flathead in there and push down on it so it turns?
