So I broke both adjustment screws attempting to adjust the headlights, but due to the cold they both snapped. Does anyone happen to have a lead if they sell them separate? Google image search photos used
One of mine broke too....and it was not cold outside.
The plastic is far too fragile and brittle. It's crummiest plastic I've ever encountered.
If you adjust your headlights....you'll probably break one.
I don't know if the parts are available separately, but hopefully someone can chime in on that. I'll be following this thread!
Which way to lower the beam
I have tried both ways and no movement
What actually moves in the assembly
I adjusted mine last night. I had to go counter-clockwise to go down. I think there's some play in there because at first I tried clockwise and nothing was happening. I then went ccw and after a bunch of turns it started to go down. Even though it's super easy to do it's one of the most confusing things to find out which way to turn to go up/down. I read a few threads and watched a couple videos and I heard cw for down and ccw for down. I think it depends on the year and model. I used a small flat screwdriver.
If I ever have the need for an adjustment I think I will just take it to the dealer and let them break it.
Me too, especially if the vehicle is under warranty, but I'm wondering why there would be any need to adjust them. I haven't needed to adjust a headlamp since they stopped selling cars with glass sealed beams.

I had a front level installed to get rid of some of the rake. Doing that, it is kind to readjust the headlights so that you don't blind oncoming traffic.
Beyond that, you would be surprised that many trucks don't come from the factory with their headlights aimed properly.
