    U can do it yourself. There are some knobs in the back of the housing.

    Top one is horizontal.
    Bottom one adjusts up and down.

    How far can you adjust them? Does the knob come off like a screw if you keep twisting?

    The "knob" is locked into the housing, but the "nut" on the end of the screw that is attached to the reflector can run off the end of the screw.... but on a lifted truck, you're going the other way, pulling the bottom of the reflector in.

    These are seriously fine thread. A full turn on the screw makes a difference of maybe 1/4 inch or less at 25 feet.

    Makes sense, but what about the top knob for horizontal adjustment? Seems like I have to bring the 2 projector inward therefore turning counterclockwise, will turning too much making it come loose?

    if you lift the front end say 2.5" so that would be several turns trying to get it to stock ht like 10 turns does it have that much to play with ? and i dont mean ten inches to play with

    There's plenty of adjustment.
    The headlight would be aimed WAY off center before the adjuster gets messed up.

    Thanks rich, guess I'll try it tomorrow, the light is spreading way too much to the sides so I am not getting lights in the middle much.
