    Hi, I'm trying to adjust the headlights on my 2017. Please post up a link to where I can find this info, better yet, please post a pic describing where the adjustment screw is.

    Thanks much, ty

    It's a brand new truck. Were they not correct from the dealer?

    I'm with the OP on this one. My cut off is so sharp and basically has no light above it... At higher speeds (shoot even at slower speeds for that matter) I find myself running out of headlight. Maybe in urban areas you don't notice it but in a rural setting it's not good. Even my wife made a totally unsolicited comment how bad it was. I have a ton of light going to the sides... but above that cut off it's a black hole. I just want to unjust mine up just a little.

    I agree they certainly leave something to be desired. I live in the country too. I'm just not sure that lifting them up will help much with the stock bulb setup. I'd be worried about putting them in the oncoming eyes.

    Trust me I don't want to be "that guy" with the red-neck head lights (RNHL). I did do the H9 mod and doesn't really do much at all as far as reach. I certainly will start off with just a little. I plan on actually measuring it on a wall just to keep up with it.
