Default Headlights

I have a 2010 Lariat Supercrew that i installed a AS 2 inch leveling kit on. I am constantly getting flashed by on coming traffic with their brights, and not the good kind of flashed.. Anyone else had this issuse. Should i have adjusted my headlights when i did the kit and if so how do i adjust them down..

Yes u will need to adjust them if ur gettin flashed now n wasn't before the level kit. I haven't looked at ur model but I'm sure it's the same as all.... There is a stud that sticks out the back of the light housing that u will need to screw in (I Belive it's in could be out) to adjust it down, I'm gonna say 5 rounds on each light should get others to stop flashing ya. Good luck

Find a flat, non sloped surface with a wall. pull as close to the wall as possible without hitting it. Put 2 lines of tape horizontally on the wall where the headlights are shining on it. Then put 2 more strips of tape on the wall 3 inches lower than the other strips. Now back your truck up 25 feet, and adjust headlights down so the "cutoff" is on the lower strips of tape.

Pretty good tip...I'll have to do that this weekend, because I get "flashed" too
