How to adjust 2013 projector headlights?
It is super easy to adjust these (and I am sure the same information is in your owner's manual as well......)....Look straight down from the top of the headlight, about a third of the way in from the inside edge. You will see a rounded section about the size of a quarter --- look down there (a flashlight might help) and you will see a white ****-like appendage on the inside top of the headlight. Inside that is a small regular head screw.
Take a #2 screwdriver and put it in there --- turn it counterclockwise to raise the headlights and clockwise to lower them. The screw turns some gears to move the headlight --- and it moves the headlight very slowly so it takes quite a few turns to get it to move.
Oh....and the wife and I in our Miata thank you in advance for caring enough to do this for us!!!

This is one thing I love about my Tundra and hope Ford introduces soon on the f150. Tundra has a dial you can move up or down depending on the load. Anybody know if the Lincoln products have this dial type thing that might be a direct bolt on for the f150?
None of the Lincoln products feature any usable tow/haul capabilities...why would Lincoln manufacture such a tool?

I just adjusted my HIDs after the 5100s lift. I used a #2 Phillips screw driver. But after doing so, (kind of a pain), I realized that I read in the owners' manual to use a #30 Torx driver (D'OH!) works much better than the #2 Phillips.
HTH!

That would be a BIG unknown..........ideally, those planning on a lift should park their truck a defined distance away, on a level surface from a flat wall --- at night, with the headlights on.
Measure where your headlights cutoff hits the wall --- then after the install of the level go back and park where you where and lower the upper cutoff to where it was before.......I fully realize that this is not something someone is going to think about when installing your leveling kit.............

The way I've done every headlight adjustment for the last 30+ years is...
to go find a flat wall somewhere (garage, shopping mall, whatever) Back away about 25-30 feet. Lower the cut-off line about 4". Then take a drive on a dark, straight, unlit roadway (best if there are trees lining the roadway), and just see where the line hits everything.
You want the cut off line to hit the road about 150-200ft ahead. That's about perfect for everyday driving. Towing or driving while carrying a load will change things, of course.
Other procedures are more technical, and rarely more accurate. If you have access to a construction laser and a level surface, you can... well, you get the idea.
