Yeah theres a large screw on the bottom. I have mine all the way up in the daytime to act as DRLs but at night I just twist a few times to bring them down so theyre not glarey to other drivers. When I get HIDs I'll have them all the way down. I need to fine-tune my headlights too, you know they make an headlight adjustment tool for like $10 for these trucks.

Did you adjust your headlights/fogs yet?

Nah, I'm not getting flashed and I live in the city so I haven't bothered yet. You can search the internet for Ford headlight aiming tool. It will cost ~$20
