Default Headlights too high

When I pull up behind someone at night my headlights usually light up the entire car in front of me without my high beams even being on. I know it pisses some people off so I was wondering if there was a way to aim them down just a little bit? I heard it was possible but I messed with them a little with no luck. Have any of you guys heard about this?

There's a screw on the top of the headlight lens that adjusts the light up or down but I'm guessing you already knew that.

Then again, you do drive a LIFTED truck so no matter how you adjust your headlights they're still gonna be in somebodies back window. I wouldn't worry about it, I'm sure they have a flip-dimming rearview mirror.

You could always take off the lift on the front and drive around with 8" of rake

yea there is not alot of adjustment to the headlights, if you are lifted, your kinda SOL. just be courtesy and not pull up so close, or just shut your headlights off when you are behind someone. i had the same problems with mine, i would get the finger more than once driving home in the morning because i blinded someone the night before.

It's a 4mm screw and you need a wrench to adjust them. In the manual there's a full page write up on how to properly adjust them.
