Help with Headlamp adjustment!

Can anybody help me out? I put a leveling kit on my F150, now everybody thinks I have my high beams on all the time!!! Can anybody give me a quick hint on how to adjust my lamps lower? Thanks!

you need a 4mm socket or the ford headlamp adjustment tool- you only have vertical adjustment.. when you look down at the top of the headlight, (hood open) you will see a 3/4" inch long hex stud- that is the piece you need to rotate. your manual has aiming specs to get them correct

I put tape lines on the garage door after the leveling kit. I lowered the top edge of the "hot spot" the same as my actual lift. Three inches. I've only been flashed once since then (post Silverstars). I didn't mess with the fogs. I used a socket that fit the aiming bolt, and pliers to turn it. That's what I needed to get it done.

Thanks again for the hints. Adjusted them the other day and didn't get flashed once on the drive home!
