    Does anyone have a picture of the adjustment screws used to adjust the aim of the headlights? I'm not a complete dunce...I have looked three times and cannot for the life of me find them. I even used the Toyota repair manual but still no luck.
    2005 DCSB TRD Off Road.
    Is there a chance I do not have any? Like, in the same way they sold the truck with an empty cabin air filter because they didn't have them available yet?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks guys and have a good weekend!
    Chris

    My 2000 has an adjustment bolt you get to from the backside of the headlight assy/inside of the hood. Its for up down I havent looked for the side to side adjustment if it needs it.

    What is really cool is you can slide a Phillips screw driver down to the adjustment wheel in the same orientation as your yellow arrow. It makes adjusting them a breeze.

    Wish mine worked. I can turn the adjustment screws in either direction and there is no movement in the lens.

    I know this thread is old, mine dont seem to move the light without turning like 1000 rotations! Is this normal? They are aftermarket headlights with JDM G2 LEDs
    Any help would be very much appreciated.
    I'm tired of getting flashed lol.

    To adjust the beam up, turn the vertical adjustment bolt as if you're "loosening" it, so counter-clockwise.
