Just be careful not to turn the adjustment screw down lower than it wants to go as everything is plastic down there and can break with just a click. Ask me how I know.

yup, that's an ******* move. You are creating a safety issue. Take responsibility for the safety of others, like a man, and lower your lights.

I don't think they all come perfectly aligned from factory. Leveling kit probably helped. As long as you're not getting flashed all the time.

I got my level and 35's done and forgot to aim my headlights until recently. Nobody flashed me, but my buddy said it looked like my highs were on when he was in front of me.

Go to a wall about 20-25' away and adjust them accordingly. Pop the hood, you'll see the little hole above the headlight that you can put a phillips head screw driver and turn. Shouldn't take but a minute to fix, it's very easy.

I don't even have a levelling kit and I had to adjust my headlights. They were set up high from factory, I was constantly being flashed. I started paying attention to my cut off line when turning and could see they were set high. I lowered them about and inch and it's much better now, for myself and others.

Default High beam adjustment stuck

I was trying to adjust my headlights tonight because the previous owner didn't after the leveling kit and i'm clearly blinding people. Well when I turn the screw the gears for the highbeam won't turn and so it's just popping. I see that the low beams are adjusting down but the highbeam doesn't move.

Has anyone else experienced this and what did you do to fix it?

Does anyone know if it's counter clockwise or clockwise to aim down? I read on a Google post that counter clockwise is down.

I don't think the highs are adjustable, only the lows.
