does anyone have this tool, I wanna get my aim just right but I dont wanna spend like 30 bucks on a tool I could borrow. it would be cheap, like $.43, just put it in an envelope send it. I wouldnt need it for long. and I might send a couple bucks back for your troubles and the tool of course. hopefully this will be the last set of headlights for my truck since theyre the ones i want.

 

Just keep pulling them out and adjusting the screws until you get it right.

a 4mm socket will fit the ends, but you dont have enough room to get it on there.

Just take it to a dealership and ask if they will do it for free

 

Theres a tool to do this? I just keep taking mine out, adjusting them, and slide them back in.

 

ya mine are a snug fit, and theyre way off, theres a special tool that has a longer handle and it has a 4mm closed wrench on the end. ill see if i can find a pic.

 

Here is a picture of one.




Here is a link to purchase one. http://www.amazon.com/Lisle-14540-He.../dp/B0002SR8AK

thanks JMC, i think you posted the same thing a while back for me just what I was lookin for

 

oh snap! just when i thought life couldnt get any easier. i guess they will come in handy when i get new L heads!

 

ya, this will help out a lot, i always seem to f em up again when I put them in, complete waste of time. this will be easier.

 

Just as an FYI, SJ Discount charges over $11 for shipping charges, and they dont tell you that until AFTER you place the order. Going with the one from Amazon is cheaper after shipping.

 

How do I know where the headlights are aiming right now? They seem to be fine when I drive at night.

 

when people flash you. although i think a majority of people here are running HIDs as well

 

the way you can test them is park about 25 ft away from a flat wall and the light should be focused parallel to the height of your truck, unless its lifted, then they would need to be pointed down. with my HIDs and L heads mine are still straight. i dont think theyre all that blinding when i have someone drive my truck at me from a distance but in a little car i could imagine it being way brighter.

 

I just measured the adjuster screws off the old ones, from two fixed points, and it worked well. I think one is a bit higher, but it puts you in the ballpark really close, like 95%.

 

its called a pair of pliers.. thats what i used.. worked great..lmao
