Default How do you adjust headlights down?

I have the Rancho leveling kit, with 35's and everyone continues to think my brights are on them. How do I angle them down to get them out of everyones eyes? This is for your basic halogen headlights, not the LED's.

Open the hood, and then on the area around the top of the light is a hole with (I think) a white plastic piece in it. Insert a Phillips #2 screw driver and turn it to raise and lower the lights. The process is detailed on page 311 of my owners manual, there should be an entry on the table of contents under maintenance, adjusting the headlamps to direct you to he right page.

Just did this the other night because I was getting flashed after my Rancho Quicklift install. Just look at the top of the headlights for what looks like a 3 little gears (at least on the LEDs). Use a screwdriver to turn the middle one (mine was black, not white). I lowered the driver side about 2 inches (on a wall ~25' away), but left the passenger side more or less as-is.

BTW, just saw this psuedo-related article today, just FYI - https://www.trucks.com/2016/10/25/fo...adlight-tests/
